Sermon Summary
Keeping the fire in full flame, the gifts that God has given you are a response to His grace working in you. This week, we look at 2 Timothy again to gain a greater understanding of the grace of God–the activity of God. The grace of God is working inside of you as He reveals to you who He is in Scripture. This revelation of who God is reveals who you are and fuels great exploits even if it means suffering. Those hard times that come from doing good are working a greater purpose out in your life, a reinforcement of who you are, and a destiny from God.
