Unshaken

"Not Ashamed" 2 Timothy Series 2 Tim 3:1-9

2 Timothy 3:1-9. Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) Many People Will Stop Loving God

3 Remember this: There are some terrible times coming in the last days. 2 People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud and boast about themselves. They will abuse others with insults. They will not obey their parents. They will be ungrateful and against all that is pleasing to God. 3 They will have no love for others and will refuse to forgive anyone. They will talk about others to hurt them and will have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4 People will turn against their friends. They will do foolish things without thinking and will be so proud of themselves. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure. 5 They will go on pretending to be devoted to God, but they will refuse to let that “devotion” change the way they live. Stay away from these people!

6 Some of them go into homes and get control over weak women, whose lives are full of sin—women who are led into sin by all the things they want. 7 These women always want to learn something new, but they are never able to fully understand the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres[a] fought against Moses, these people fight against the truth. Their thinking has been confused. The faith they have and teach is worthless. 9 But they will not succeed in what they are trying to do. Everyone will see how foolish they are. That is what happened to Jannes and Jambres.

Focus: We may face terrible times, but there is no need for our faith to be shaken.

I. Don't be NAÏVE

II. When are the LAST DAYS

Acts 2:17, 2 Peter 3:3-4

III. Be FOREWARNED and FOREARMED

Meet Jesus - Meet Jesus the Lord

Verde Valley Christian Church Jun 30 – Jul 7, 2024 Sermon Series: Meet Jesus Sermon Title: "Meet Jesus the Lord" Presenter: Jim Hammond Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 1. Real LIFE is from the Lord Jesus John 1:4-5 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Acts 2:36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah." Acts 3:15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 2. Without Jesus you are SPIRITUALLY DEAD John 3:2-4 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has com...
