This Sunday, we continue our series in 2 Timothy—Guarding the Good Deposit. This week the apostle Paul continues his appeal to Timothy to guard the good deposit entrusted to him. Last week we learned that the first way to guard the good deposit is to not be ashamed of the testimony of Jesus and His word. In this week's text Paul teaches us how to be strong and courageous regardless of the pressure on us. Read 2 Timothy 2:1-13 in preparation for this Sunday's message.
