Carrying the Torch

Good Shepherd Barrhaven Sermon Stream

We usually think of faith as an active, personal commitment to Christ. This is true, but it's only part of what faith is. Faith is also a treasure we inherit, so that future generations can be blessed. This sermon on 2 Timothy challenges us to see faith not only as a personal benefit to us, but also the way God gathers a community of people over time. This challenge works out in a responsibility to consider how we pass faith to our children, and how we help our church pass faith on to future generations

Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 1:1-14

Preached on the 17th Sunday after Pentecost, October 6th, 2019 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
