SERMON | 2 Timothy 2:8-15 | NOT ASHAMED - 2. "Present Yourself to God" by Rev. Joseph Sanford at Sellersburg United Methodist Church in Sellersburg, Indiana
The gospel is simple, to Paul: Jesus is God's ruler over everything, raised from the dead, a descendant of David.
For a young Jewish Christian, like Timothy, this simple gospel makes all of the sense in the world. Other opinions and convictions should not take precedent over this foundational proclamation. In a time of outside pressure and swirling chaos, Paul's words bring grounding to Timothy.
We need that same grounding.
When the world wants us to get caught up in politics...
When people in the Church want us to get caught up wrangling over words...
We need to be grounded in the gospel of truth.
Then...we walk together in this life of faith in the gospel as a church family leading each other along the path of perfection/healing/salvation doing "the best we can" to present ourselves to God with honesty and confidence.
