--- This expository sermon was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Thursday, August 15, 2024, at 6-00 pm. -----This sermon is based on 2 Timothy 2-8-13. It presents the reality of life as a suffering Christian, opposed to the lie of the prosperity gospel that promises health and wealth to all of Gods' people if they just have enough faith.--In this message, you'll learn who the faithful one really is, and what he has in store for the future of his people.--2 Timothy 2-8-13 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel- Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds- but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying- For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him- If we suffer, we shall also reign with him- if we deny him, he also will deny us- If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful- he cannot deny himself.---- -- -- -- ----Jimmy Fortunato is the Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, a bible-believing Baptist church that takes a strong stance on the authority of the King James Bible and the absolute necessity of public evangelism for true New Testament churches.--For more information about Pilgrim Baptist Church, visit--- https---pilgrimbaptist.church---Pastor Fortunato's Blog---- https---fortunato.blog---Stay Connected with Pilgrim Baptist Church on Social Media---- Facebook- https---www.facebook.com-PilgrimBaptistCookeville--- Instagram- https---www.instagram.com-pilgrimbaptistcookeville---- Twitter- https---twitter.com-pbc-cookeville
