In Times of Difficulty from 2 Timothy 3:1–9, Paul calls the church to sober-minded responsibility in the midst of increasing sin and deception. This sermon explains why difficult times are a reality of the last days and how self-love, false godliness, and rebellion against truth fuel that difficulty. Believers are exhorted not only to understand the nature of the times but also to faithfully avoid godless people and their corrupting influence for the health and holiness of the church.
