Go with me, please in the scriptures to 1 Timothy, the sixth chapter. If you didn't bring a Bible with you this morning, hold your hand up real high, the ushers have extra Bibles. We'd be glad to let you use one of these.

Take the time and find them and let your eyes rest and on the words and they'll get in you better.

We've been on the subject of fighting the good fight of faith.

I believe today is our 18th message on this.

Hallelujah.

How many that's been here would say it's been worth staying in on it for 18 times?

I mean, I believe we're nearing the close of this, not that you've exhausted it or reached the end of it, but just you just unhooked from it for now.

Focus on the next thing until the Lord brings us back to it again.

But 1 Timothy 612 has been our main text.

First Timothy 612.

What does it say?

Fight. The good fight of faith. Let's say that out loud together a couple of times.

Fight the good fight of faith. Another time, fight the good fight of faith.

Are you going to have to fight?

You're going to have to fight in this life or be defeated.

I've had people look at me in tears and I go, yep, brother, Keith, I'm not a fighter.

I'm a lover.

I'm not a fighter. Well, lover I'm not a fighter well you're going to be defeated

then if you're not going to be defeated deceived defeated destroyed by your enemy you're going to

have to fight.

What do we know about this fight?

It's a good fight.
