As Paul begins 2 Timothy, he encourages Timothy by reminding him of his spiritual heritage. We stand in a line of believers, not alone!

How should we view wealth? This passage exhorts us not to be proud or dependent on wealth, but to use what God has given to do His work and to be generous.

Paul gives his final commission to Timothy in the book and instructs him on how to be a man of God. We can learn to flee, pursue, fight, hold, and guard.

Paul addresses two areas that can destroy the servant of God. The first is that the false teachers were motivated by self. The second is a call to watch out for greed and be content. These are still powerful temptations today!

Paul gives Timothy instructions for how to pay pastors, correct elders and pastors, and choose them.

This passage gives us instructions for how to help widows in our church family. We also see examples of how women should live godly lives.

Join us as we explore the biblical doctrine of the church as a family and discuss how that begins to change how we interact with each other.

In this text we are challenged to take godliness seriously and train/discipline ourselves in godliness. We may not like physical exercise, but spiritual exercise is essential!

Paul deals with the false teaching that you must give up certain things to draw close to God. However, God wants us to enjoy Him and the wonderful gifts He gives!

Paul warns the church to be on guard against false teaching and reminds us that the true source is demonic.

As we go through this text we will see a number of qualifications for elders in the church. Then church needs men to step up and lead, and these qualifications are what we should aspire to.

As we finish studying this passage, we see that God has designed men and women differently and given them different responsibilities, yet they are equal before Him. When we reverse roles and responsibility, disaster happens.

God created male and female equal in His image, but with different roles and responsibilities. This is week one of exploring how men are to engage and lead and women are to be modest, seek God, follow well, and be known for godly works.

The first and most important step in waging the good warfare is to be committed to prayer. Pray for all to hear the Gospel and for an environment to share the Gospel. Have God's heart for the lost and make it your mission.

Paul charges Timothy to wage the good warfare by holding to faith and living what he believes. A good reminder for all of us.

Paul breaks into a discussion of his salvation and the grace that is given to all of us. God appoints and God equips by His grace and strength!

Introduction to our series on 1 & 2 Timothy. We are entrusted with the Gospel, to fight the good fight, and to use our gifts for God's purposes. Let's take up the charge!

Throughout scripture we are commanded to honor our father and mother. What does this mean for fathers? What are dads looking for in the honor department?

As we finish our series on the seven churches of Revelation, we read through chapters 1 through 5 and reflect on what Christ wants for His church.

Today we explore the meaning and practice of the Lord's Supper. May we treat this ordinance reverently and in community.
