A Ministry of Refreshing

Title: A Ministry of Refreshing Speaker: Mike Renfrow Date: September 16, 2026 Bible: 2 Timothy 1:15-18 This sermon addresses how believers should conduct themselves during the last days by examining the pastoral instructions in 2 Timothy. The speaker outlines seven essential practices for Christian living, including assurance of salvation, spiritual strength, diligent study of Scripture, progressive sanctification, adherence to biblical doctrine, faithful preaching, and steadfastness in the face of adversity. The central focus shifts to the example of Onesiphorus, who is highlighted as a model of consistent encouragement and refreshment for the Apostle Paul during his imprisonment. The message emphasizes that every believer can emulate this ministry of grace by actively seeking to invigorate and support fellow Christians through simple acts of love, such as encouraging texts, phone calls, and personal presence. Ultimately, the sermon calls the congregation to move beyond self-focus and become a source of spiritual vitality for one another, recognizing that such mutual encouragement is a vital necessity in the current cultural and spiritual climate. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9...
