Why should the church act according to God's instruction? It seems obvious, but many people fail to realize that the church is God's house, not ours. He is the head, and if we want to show him to the world, we must properly represent him. In this passage, Pastor Thomas Myers preaches from 1 Timothy, where Paul explains why he is writing. Paul writes so the church knows how to conduct its...

The Greek word for deacon means servant. And God calls everyone to be a servant in a certain sense. There we find that there is more blessing in giving than in getting. But in another sense, God has set an office in his church with the same name, an office with a purpose. This deacon office is one that serves God by serving him in such a way that the ministry of the Word, entrusted to the elders,...

Who can be my pastor? This is a question that every church member must take seriously.

In this sermon, Pastor Thomas reviews what the pastorate is, what the qualifications of the pastor are, and two warnings that Paul gives...

In this message, Pastor Thomas Myers finishes 1 Timothy 1 and explains that to fight the good fight and avoid shipwrecking your faith, you must attest to the gospel, adore the gospel, and assert the faith of that gospel, holding to it properly.
