2 Timothy 1:3-7
In this powerful message, we explore the true nature of courage and its vital role in our faith journey. Drawing from 2 Timothy 1:7, we learn that God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, love, and self-discipline. This scripture serves as a recipe for courage, guiding us to look upward for God's power, outward in love for others, and inward for self-discipline. We're reminded that courage isn't the absence of fear, but the strength to push through it. By expanding our circle of love and living out our deeply held convictions, we can find the courage to stand up for what's right, even in challenging times. This message encourages us to tap into the Holy Spirit's power within us, rekindling the gift of God and staying connected to His strength. As we face our own fears and challenges, we're called to remember that we already possess the courage we need – we just need to access it and live it out in our daily lives.
