2 Timothy 1:15-18:Loyalty in a Culture of Self-Protection
from First Baptist Church of Oak Island · host First Baptist Church of Oak Island
May 3, 2026What happens to your faith when things get hard, and the people around you walk away?In this week's message, Pastor Lyle walks us through 2 Timothy 1:15-18, where the Apostle Paul - writing from a Roman dungeon - contrasts two kinds of people: those who abandon us in difficult times, and those who run toward us.We live in a culture of self-protection. We protect our comfort, our reputation, and our schedule. But Paul shows us that real Christian love always costs us something - and adversity is what separates surface-level friendships from the ones that truly last.KEY POINTS:• Self-protection steps back when times get tough • Gospel friends practice the ministry of refreshment • Costly loyalty searches out with courage KEY VERSE:"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." - Proverbs 17:17CONNECT WITH US:fbcoi.org
