Taking Ground: Taking Ground Fortifies the Church

About this episode
As this week unfolded, I'm more convinced than ever: there has never been a greater need for the Church of Jesus Christ than right now. Jesus promised, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." In this message from 2 Timothy 1:6–12, Pastor Jeff shows how taking ground fortifies the
church—by stirring up every believer's gifts, living with Spirit-given courage (not timidity), boldly proclaiming the Gospel, and entrusting our lives and mission to Christ. We're not launching a campaign for buildings or chairs; we're advancing the cause of Christ. If we had three more campuses today, they'd be full—because God is moving. Join us as we deploy gifts, step forward in faith, and make Jesus known in our families, our city, and our culture. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub
