Having highlighted parts of chapters 1 and 2 in I Timothy these past two weeks, this morning we’re going to jump to the final chapter, chapter 6. Throughout this letter to Timothy, his spiritual son, Paul is providing Timothy instructions for leading the church. In chapter 3, he states, “14 Although …
As we continue in our study of I Timothy, we yet again get a glimpse this morning of how timeless are the issues that Scripture addresses. Having encouraged his spiritual son, Timothy, to challenge those who were misteaching God’s law in chapter one—and sharing, in the process how Paul himself …
This morning we’re beginning a seven-week series on Paul’s epistles—his letters—to Timothy. As we are continually reminded in Scripture, because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice of his life on our behalf, all who call themselves disciples of Christ, that is all who accept his sacrifice on their behalf, become not only …
I want to begin our consideration of this morning’s passage by asking you a question: What if there was a person who knew everything—and I mean everything—about you? Not only the time you went to sleep at night but also the time you got up each morning; Your daily and …
In our final look at the book of Hebrews, we have some closing exhortations from the author of this book to the churches he’s writing to—and the reason I’ve continually referred to the author as “the author” is because we don’t actually know who wrote it. And the audience is …

This morning we continue our consideration of Hebrews 11, the faith chapter. Last week we saw how Abraham and Sarah expressed faith in God’s promises—despite their advanced years—not only by believing that God would bring about what he promised but also by acting on their belief. And a key component …
This morning we have the privilege of considering parts of Hebrews 11, which, for obvious reasons, has come to be known as the “faith chapter” in Scripture. Now if we had to provide our own definition of “faith,” I imagine we would say things like faith is a hope—or a …
Last October we considered Matthew’s version of a prayer that we recite each week during the service, the Lord’s Prayer. This morning we have an opportunity to look at Luke’s shortened version of the same prayer. I’m always grateful that there are so many accounts of events in Jesus’ life …
This morning’s passage—following immediately after the Good Samaritan passage we considered last week—focuses on two sisters who, along with a third sibling, a brother, were part of a family that Jesus loved—Mary and Martha are the sisters and, though he isn’t mentioned here, Lazarus is an important third sibling in …
