Be Strengthened (2 Tim. 2:1-13)

In this message from 2 Timothy 2:1–13, Pastor Matthew unpacks Paul’s final charge to Timothy from a Roman prison: “be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” Paul calls believers to live as soldiers, athletes, and farmers in a real spiritual war, refusing distraction and comfort-driven faith. You’ll be confronted with the Enemy’s subtle schemes, reminded to “remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead,” and invited to repent of complacency, reenter the battle, and endure for the sake of the gospel and the salvation of others. This sermon is a call to courageous, grace-fueled, missional living in a soft world.
