If we are honest, we all have a problem with priorities once in a while in our lives. The book of Haggai is a bit of an anomaly for the Old Testament, because Haggai’s message gets through to the people and they respond in repentance and finally obedience. This book stands out as an encouraging light of what can happen when God’s people listen to God’s word delivered through God’s preacher and exp...

NOTE: Due to a medical emergency within the congregation, the service was cut short. Pastor Ryan will continue his series in Esther on December 29, 2019.

Paul is writing his final letter to Timothy as he sits in a Roman prison awaiting death. Paul had lived a fruitful life since his conversion on the road to Damascus and now he is encouraging Timothy to keep pressing on into ministry, guarding the gospel, fighting the fight, and finishing the race. Was Paul successful? Was Timothy successful? How do we gage success in life and ministry? The book of...

If we relegate the preaching of God’s Word, our church will be forgotten. We must be known as a Bible preaching church until Jesus brings us home. Our concern must not be for ourselves only. We cannot allow our generation to be the last at EBC. What kind of church will we pass on to our children’s children? Are we too short-sighted? If the Lord tarries another 400 years, will Edgewood Bible Church...

William Tyndale paid a great price to get the English bible into the hands of his people. He believed that having the Bible in our own language was vital, but have we moved on from the Bible? How big of a priority is the Bible for our lives? Do we trust the Bible? Is the Bible sufficient for us? Wayne Grudem has a helpful definition: The sufficiency of Scripture means that: it contains all the wor...

The Apostle Paul expected persecution right from the start of ministry, as the Lord would communicate with him through Ananias: “I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” Paul knew that was what his life would be, exceedingly so. And he knows this is what is in store for his disciple Timothy. He will face persecution, he should expect it. And while he waits, he needed to ke...

We are living in the last days, as Paul will remind us. We need to understand the times, we need to understand the lives of false teachers and the ministry that they propagate. God will not abandon his church. In a day where politics consumes our headlines more than anything, we need to be reminded friends, that before there was ever a United States of America, there was the church. And after ther...

Are you useful? Have you ever asked that question? We all want to be found useful in this life. Paul is going to show us two ways for Timothy to live, for the Christian to live. You will have a useless life, centered on yourself and your ways, or you will have a useful life centered on Christ and His ways.

Guarding the gospel requires strength in God’s grace, which allows us to delegate it to others faithfully, to suffer joyfully, and to remember with confidence our Savior.

Truly great men of God care far more for the glory of Jesus Christ than for themselves. God’s chosen servants are commanded to share in the sufferings for the gospel and to keep their faith in Jesus by protecting the gospel, until Jesus comes.

The book of 2nd Timothy is a huge encouragement to the church. Paul is trying to fortify Timothy’s faith to face the mounting persecution that is headed his way. Timothy faced pressure, he felt fear and anxiety over the future. Paul wanted to draw his eyes back to the Lord and the ministry he was called to serve. Paul will set the stage for the letter by rehearsing what God has done in the past an...

What is a disciple? A disciple is a follower. You can follow someone’s teaching from a distance and being a disciple of Jesus is at least that much. A disciple of Jesus follows Jesus, and lives as Jesus would have us. The Apostle Paul was a disciple and his motive for ministry was to train others, to disciple others. Paul was passing the mantle of ministry to his son in the faith and urged him to...
