The Duties of a Steadfast Minister – Part 1

Whenever somebody is facing a tough situation, their friends will encourage them with things like “just be strong,” or “you can do it.”  Today, Pastor John shows that the strength of a Christian doesn’t come about by self-effort or positive thinking.  Instead, it comes from God.  Don’t just “be” strong.  Be “strengthened” by the grace of God.  How do you do that?  By yielding to God and surrendering yourself to Him.  You’re saved by grace, sanctified by grace, and your strength comes from God, also by grace.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Timothy, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Duties of a Steadfast Minister.
