Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you to all the men and women and their families who have given their lives for our country

Because of their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their families we can gather together this morning

One thing i have always respected is a soldiers bravery, their willingness to sacrifice, and their ability to endure suffering

In 2 Timothy 2, Paul tells young Timothy to be prepared to endure suffering, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus

Understand that you will suffer for Christ

Carry on despite hardships, don’t quit

2. (V4) Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life

Paul is encouraging us to stay focused on the task, don’t be carried away by distraction

Can you imagine a soldier who was divided between the battle and the affairs of civilian life?

3. (V10) I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and glory to Christ

As Christians we must have the mindset of a soldier and be willing to suffer for the person in the trenches right next to us
