Today's Sermon

"Christian Courage"

2Timothy 1:3~8

I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or shamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,


1. We are encouraged by others.

We need paul, Timothy in our lives.
To remind ourselves.
Every great man of faith had people helping them, encouraging them.
Live life together.
You need Spiritual friend.
Don't let yourself isolated.

2.We are encouraged by faith in Jesus

1)Sincere faith
2)Sincere faith handed down

Why are you so afraid?

3.We are encouraged by the holy spirit.

1)Gifts for his ministry
2)Spirit from God - of power, love and wisdom

Use what God has already given you.
Fan into flame.
'laying on of my hands'

I made a short memo during the sermon.
It healed my heart and I am really thankful to God that he is really doing amazing things in my life.
