Lonely, but Not Alone
from Ramah Baptist Church Hosted by Ramah Baptist Church
This is the morning sermon at Ramah Baptist Church in Palmetto, GA on June 14, 2026, part of our Hope for Sinners and Sufferers series. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4:9–18, the Apostle Paul writes from a Roman prison near the end of his life, asking Timothy to come to him quickly. He is largely alone—Demas has deserted him for love of this present world, others have scattered to various places of ministry, and at his first defense no one came to stand with him. Loneliness, this passage reminds us, can come through circumstances beyond our control, or it can be the bitter fruit of our own sin. Yet Paul is not truly alone. The Lord stood by him and strengthened him, so that through him the gospel might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. Even as he faces abandonment, opposition, and the nearness of death, Paul testifies that the Lord rescued him from the lion's mouth and will bring him safely into his heavenly kingdom. The sermon closes with practical application for how the believer can rightly deal with loneliness—not by retreating into self-pity or sin, but by resting in the One who stands by his people when everyone else falls away.
