SERMON OUTLINE FAITHFULNESS THAT FINISHES WELL 2 Timothy 4:6–8
“For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” – 2 Timothy 4:6-8 “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” – Frederick Buechner

What difference does your faith actually make? In Because I Believe, Dr. Kannwischer invites us to move beyond simply believing the Apostles’ Creed to actually living it—discovering how faith can shape the way we trust, love, suffer, hope, and engage the world.
Because the question isn’t just what you believe. It’s what difference it makes.
