A Dwelling Faith

Passage: 2 Timothy 1:3-7

Speaker: Blake Dempsey

Series: Breathe: Holy Spirit Acting Through Me

Keywords: act, breathe, dwell, faith, live, love, paul, sincere, timothy

Paul challenges Timothy to have a faith that dwells sincerely and wholly in God. Dr. Dempsey challenges us to do the same while looking back to church history and reaching forward toward the future.

3 Timothy, I thank God for you—the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4 I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again.

5 I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. 6 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
