What keeps you silent when you know you should speak up for your faith? In 2 Timothy 1, Paul writes from prison to a young and timid Timothy, urging him to fan into flame the gift of God—and to not be ashamed of the gospel.

You’ll discover what it looks like to rely on the Spirit of power, love, and self-control—and why guarding the gospel isn’t just a calling for pastors or missionaries, but for every follower of Jesus.
If you’ve ever struggled with spiritual intimidation, fear of rejection, or feeling unequipped to speak truth, this sermon will strengthen your resolve and refocus your purpose. Christ has called us, saved us, and empowered us. It's time to step forward.
