In this sermon Fighting To Keep The Faith, At the end of his life, Paul was clearly telling Timothy that the connection between a “kept” faith is going to be a “fought for” faith. When you are tempted to throw in the towel and to give up, look back and remember the past. There are some victories in the past that God has brought to you.  The second way that we can do to let our faith keep us is to fight for the future. Lastly, when we're tempted to give up is that this faith has brought some great victories to those before us.
