Courage Under Fire | 2 Timothy 1:6-18 | Pastor Bob Erbig

Pastor Bob Erbig continues the “Passing on the Faith” series with a sobering and timely message from 2 Timothy 1:6-18 on what it means to live with courage when faith comes under pressure. As Paul writes from prison to Timothy, he calls him not to retreat in fear or hide in shame, but to fan into flame the gift of God, stand unashamed of the gospel, and hold fast to the truth entrusted to him. This sermon explores the reality of cultural pushback, the temptation to keep faith private, and the Spirit-given power, love, and self-control believers need to remain faithful under fire, while pointing to the beauty of the gospel that makes every cost worth bearing.May God make us a church that fans the flame, shuns the shame, and breaks the chain of fear for the sake of Christ and His gospel.
