Recorded for Graduation Sunday, 5/31/2026

Youth Minister Eric Hudson brings a timely message to the graduating class of 2026 from II Timothy, chapters 1 and 2.

Eric issued six challenges, not only for the graduates, but also for the whole body to consider.

2Ti 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 2Ti 1:7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2Ti 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 2Ti 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, 2Ti 1:10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 2Ti 1:11 for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, 2Ti 1:12 which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me. 2Ti 1:13 Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 2Ti 1:14 By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
