Trusting In God Not Riches
In 1 Timothy 6:17-19 Paul shows us that as Christians we are to place our hope in God, not in riches, and live for eternity.
The Christian’s Charge and God’s Character
In 1 Timothy 6:13-16 Paul shows us that because of who God is we can be confident, constant, and comforted in the work the Lord calls us to.
The Christian’s Call to Action
In 1 Timothy 6:11-12 Paul gives us the Christian’s call to action. We see that the Christian life is a Spirit-empowered call to action in which we are to turn from sin, pursue virtue, and fight to persevere in the faith as we take hold of the eternal life that we have been called to.
The True Gain of Godliness
A message from 1 Timothy 6:3-10 exploring the danger of using faith for personal gain, the power of godliness with contentment, and how the pursuit of money can lead us away from God.
An Announcement That Demands a Response
The resurrection of Jesus is not just good news—it’s life-changing news that demands a response. The question is not just “Did it happen?” but “What will you do because it happened?”
Good Friday 2026
A look at Matthew 27:32-44, exploring how Jesus endured mockery and suffering on the cross, revealing His true kingship through sacrifice and love.
Serving Christ Under Authority
In 1 Timothy 6:1-2, Paul instructs believers to serve with a Christlike attitude, honoring those in authority while working diligently. Our respect and faithful actions reflect God’s character and uphold the integrity of His Word.
Honoring and Disciplining Elders
In 1 Timothy 5:17-21 Paul teaches us of the importance of honoring faithful pastor-elders by respecting and supporting them. However, if leaders are unfaithful and fall into serious sin, they must be disciplined. This reminds us of the seriousness of sin and the importance of holiness in the church. We are the household of the Holy One who has purchased us by His own blood.
Family Matters: Caring for the Family of God
Paul instructs Timothy to treat older men as fathers, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. The tone we use matters because the relationships matter. He then addresses the care of widows, teaching the church that compassion must be paired with wisdom.
The Path to Pursuing Godliness
In 1 Timothy 4:6-10 we see Paul highlighting the importance of godliness. Christians are to pursue godliness by nourishing themselves with God’s Word, diligently striving to obey its commands, and recognizing the benefit of Godliness. This is all done with our hope set on the living God who has saved us in Christ Jesus.
