Tenth Sunday after Pentecost - August 1, 2021
In today’s sermon text, Paul recognizes that his time on earth is short. The Lord is about to bring glory to His own name through Paul’s martyrdom. Yet what is in store for Paul is a crown of righteousness from the Lord’s gracious hand. There are those who put their own safety ahead of service to God and support for His kingdom work. But for those who put Him first, the Lord is faithful and will bring us to his heavenly kingdom. Paul had spent a life in ministry serving Christ above all; now he looked forward to the end of the fight, the rest from the race, and the receipt of the crown.
