2 Timothy 2:1–7 - Faithful When It’s HardSeries: Unashamed - 2 Timothy Preacher: Simon LawrensonSunday MorningDate: 18th January 2026Passage: 2 Timothy 2:1-7-------------------How do you keep going when faithfulness feels costly and the fruit feels slow? In 2 Timothy 2:1–7, the Apostle Paul writes to a weary Timothy—not with shortcuts or strategies, but with grace. In this message, we explore how grace is not just the doorway into the Christian life, but the strength that sustains us for the long obedience.Through the images of a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer, Paul shows us that faithfulness often happens in hidden, ordinary, and difficult places—and that God does His deepest work slowly. This verse-by-verse teaching reminds us that identity in Christ comes before calling, and that grace fuels perseverance when grit runs out.📍 Series: Unashamed 📖 Passage: 2 Timothy 2:1–7 🔥 Theme: Grace, identity, and faithful endurance For more bible resources please visit www.calvarysoton.co.uk
