Household of God :: Honor 1 Timothy 5:17-25 By Chris Schlosser Leaders in the church, especially elders, are worthy of honor.

Household of God :: Family 1 Timothy 5:1-16 By Chris Schlosser It’s often said that church should be like a family, but what does that mean?

Household of God :: Train 1 Timothy 3:14-4:16 By Robert Krumrey Last week we heard about how the church is to be the “pillar and buttress” of the truth. A visible demonstration in the world of our truth-filled but metaphysical claims about Jesus. This week’s passage shows us how we can practically fulfill that vision - Not twisting the truth, intentionally training in the truth, and faithfully tea...

Household of God :: Truth 1 Timothy 3:14-16 By Jacob Fisher What is truth and how am I supposed to figure out what it is? A big part of the answer to this question is “the church”.

The issues range fr...

1 Timothy 2:1-7 By Christian Hogan 1 Timothy is full of charges to correct false doctrine and teach sound doctrine. If we are not careful, we might start thinking church is only about getting the teaching right. While right doctrine is essential for church life, it is all for not if we don’t actually “do” what God has ordained for the church to do. One of those “do’s” is prayer. Find out in this s...

Household of God :: Example 1 Timothy 1:12-20 By Noah Galloso As kids we were sometimes told that we should be an “example” for younger kids by behaving rightly.

1 Timothy 1:1,2 By Robert Krumrey Paul writes to a young pastor named Timothy that he is penning a letter to him (known to us at “1 Timothy”) so that he “may know how one ought to behave in the household of God”.

The Law Deuteronomy 4:1-14 By Noah Galloso Today, we see God’s law shows us who God is, God's blessing and perfect goodness.

The New Way :: Reveal John 16:4-15 By Robert Krumrey So far the two big ideas that Jesus has communicated in John 15 & 16 are that followers of Jesus are spiritually connected with God through the work of the Holy Spirit and are simultaneously battling with and witnessing to the world. This witness to the world is a collaboration between the Spirit and Christ followers. Find out in this sermon wha...
