''How to serve God''

Outline and Notes:

I. Serve God Unashamed (vv. 8–12)

A. Don’t Be Ashamed of the Gospel

• 2 Timothy 1:8 — “Be not thou therefore ashamed...”

Truth:

“You can’t be a good Christian if you aren’t trying to lead people to Christ.”

C. He’s Not Ashamed of Us

• Hebrews 2:11 – He calls us brethren.
• Even though we fail, He remains faithful.
