Engaging with Truth: Discernment and Character in Christian Conversations

In a world overwhelmed by foolish controversies and constant quarrels, how can we remain unashamed of the Gospel? In 2 Timothy 2:14–26, Paul calls Timothy—and every believer—to focus on godly character and sound doctrine over fruitless debates. This sermon unpacks Paul’s three principles for engaging a hostile culture: avoid foolish controversy, pursue godly character, and aim for repentance. If we’re going to be faithful in an age of noise, we must guard our life and teaching with conviction and compassion.
