A Soldier of Jesus Christ – Paul M. Williams

Bethesda Shalom

2 Timothy 2:3-4

No amount of preparation or training can fully prepare a soldier for war. He’ll see and experience things on that battlefield that no college classroom or training expedition can ever replicate! In the classroom, he’ll learn about tactical strategies and the theory of war; on the training expeditions, he’ll be given the necessary tools and skills to equip him for combat. But when the first shot is fired in a real life battle scenario, there’s no training or simulation that can adequately foresee how someone will react. It’s one thing being in a mock exercise, your fellow soldiers are not trying to kill you! On the battlefield, there’s an enemy that’s shooting to kill!!

This sermon is a call to battle! A call to stand firm as a soldier of Jesus Christ. May you be mightily encouraged!!
