Suffering for the Gospel

by Alistair Begg

2 Timothy 1:8–10
 (ID: 3009)

The Gospel of Jesus Christ can be difficult to talk about, and its message may be foreign or even offensive to others. Even so, the apostle Paul exhorted Timothy not to be ashamed but to be willing to suffer for preaching the truth. Alistair Begg explores how that challenge relates to our lives today. Suffering for the Gospel, as Paul and Timothy did, exposes our own weakness and provides an opportunity for God’s power to be displayed through us.
