SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR THIS SERMON:
2 Timothy 4:16-18
4:16 At my first defense no one appeared in my support; instead they all deserted me—may they not be held accountable for it.
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed for all the Gentiles to hear. And so I was delivered from the lion’s mouth!
18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever! Amen.
