“Surviving Hard Times” (2 Timothy 3:1-9)

In his sermon, “Surviving Hard Times” centered on 2 Timothy 3:1-9, Pastor Josiah examined Paul's counsel to Timothy about the last days, where people will turn away from God and false teachers will lead many astray. Just as Timothy faced challenges in Ephesus, we, too, navigate a broken world filled with deception and hardship. Yet, Paul’s words serve as an encouragement—reminding us that hardships in life are a sign of the times, not a reason to lose heart. As believers, we must stand firm in the truth of the Gospel, avoid distractions from false teachings, and embrace the reality that following Christ will often be difficult, but always worth it.
