In this passage, Paul will help Timothy understand how to be a good servant of Christ Jesus, one who is faithful to God and helping others grow in faithfulness as well. We learned that good servants of Christ Jesus hope in God while training...

Paul again addresses the false teachers and their teaching, which he last addressed in chapter 1. God has been clear that some would depart from the faith, and they do so through these false teachers and their teaching - which is demonic in origin...

Paul is going to outline his purpose for writing this letter to Timothy, and as he does, he makes the connection between what we believe and how we behave. We'll learn that what we believe about Christ is the foundation for life in the church.

We live in an immature culture - not because people are waiting longer to get married, buy a house, have kids, or become financially independent. The mark of maturity is taking responsibility for ourselves and others, and that's where the church...

This week we begin a 3-week series called "Counter Culture" where we'll be looking at three areas we as Christians are called to be distinct from the world - but we struggle with looking and acting the same as everyone...
