The Sanctified Life | 2 Timothy 2:20-26 | Pastor Bob Erbig

In this message from 2 Timothy 2:20–26, Pastor Bob Erbig continues the Passing the Faith series by challenging the church to move from passive spectators to engaged “spiritual athletes,” asking who God actually uses to build His kingdom and what it looks like to be ready for that work. Through the framework of “take a bath, run the race, and teach the truth,” the sermon calls believers to ongoing repentance, intentional pursuit of Christlike character, and faithful handling of the gospel in both life and speech, while warning against careless living, divisive attitudes, and spiritual complacency. With clear, practical application, this message presses listeners to examine their readiness, their habits, and their role in the body of Christ, reminding us that our lives directly impact others who are watching, listening, and in need of truth. Step onto the field, take your faith seriously, and be ready for God to use you.
