1 timothy 5

Preached on Sunday the 11th of July, 2023.

Our noses adapt to the ambient aromas of a new environment if given some time. In the same way, professing believers may have unknowingly taken in and been deceived by the lies of the world around them. This passage stands in direct opposition with one of the main messages we all hear in the Western world: the gospel of self-indulgence. To believe this false message is to be dead even while we live. Is this terrifying condition an accurate description of you? Listen to God's Word and how it leads us to true life.

In part 8 of our series, Church: Why Bother?, together we learn about the beautiful design God created for His church--specifically church leadership. In the book, 1 Timothy, the apostle Paul writes about worship gatherings, qualifications for leaders, the importance of teaching doctrine, and this week we learn how the church should honor their pastors. If pastors follow the instructions from Paul to Timothy, then they will be leading in a manner that is glorifying to God. Listen to Pastor Rob Bentz as he shares our latest message of the series, Pastors and the Church, as we learn how godly pastors are a gift to the church! 

In a world that emphasizes different ages, genders, cultures, and socio-economic conditions, how should God's people relate with one another in a way that brings glory to Jesus? In part 7 of our series, Church: Why Bother?, we learn about the beautiful design God created for His people to be the church. In 1 Timothy 5, the apostle Paul describes how the church can best administer God’s care for His people--including specific care for widows. Listen as Pastor Rob Bentz shares our latest message, The Family in the Church, to see the importance of relating to each other as a family of God.
