The central theme of the sermon is the urgent need for Christians to be unashamedly committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, even in the face of growing cultural opposition and persecution. The speaker draws parallels between the fear and compromise Paul saw in his time and the challenges believers face today.

Sermon Summary

The message is framed by the context of 2 Timothy, Paul's final letter written from prison.

Paul's Warning: Paul, citing his earlier words in Romans ("I am not ashamed of the gospel"), writes to Timothy from prison. He observes that many, such as "all those in Asia," had turned away from him and the faith out of fear. He urges Timothy not to be ashamed of the gospel or of Paul's imprisonment.
