An Unashamed Disciple
2 Timothy 1:8-12

There is nothing as important to the Christian faith as that of the gospel of Jesus the Christ. The gospel is the message of the King and His eternal kingdom, and all those whom He has invited to be part of His kingdom. If we build our hope in the things on this earth, we miss the blessings of the kingdom. Jesus said that we must seek first the kingdom of God, so one must ask themselves, “am I seeking after God’s kingdom.”
