Introduction: The title of today’s sermon is certainly relevant to us all. We all have some sort of work to do. We all must manage money in some way. And we are all worshipers of something - whether it be God, money, people, or things. Sadly, many false teachers are out there trying to keep you from…

What Drives You? Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better…

How does God speak? 1. Creation 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of…

TEXT: GALATIANS 5:20-21a | SINS OF ANIMOSITY INTRO ILLUSTRATION : We all had our favorite TV show or movies when we were kids, unless you were one of the ones that grew up without tv. Back when I was a kid, we were one of the cool families that had an entertainment center. It wasn’t enough to have a…

Read practicing the way pages 2-3 We’re so familiar with this reading that it’s easy to miss just how strange it is. What would make Simon step away from his life - his work, his family, his friends, and follow Jesus into unknown territory just like that? Let’s go back a couple of steps. Jesus was a…

Intro Paul’s First Letter to Timothy Paul is an apostle, responsible for taking the Gospel to the gentiles, including to a place called Ephesus (now on the western coast of Turkye) Timothy is something of a protege to Paul, a younger church leader who has been sent to Ephesus to get things in good order…

Introduction: A few weeks ago we discussed the qualifications for elders/pastors. These qualifications were very weighty and detailed. The Lord takes the purity of His church extremely seriously. Today we are going to see the need to protect the pastorate - or the office of pastor. If we want to have…

Introduction The church is called to care for the entire flock. Churches today seem to care a lot about children and their programming is oftentimes geared toward children and youth. It is absolutely imperative that we do care for the next generation and that our hearts should be set on training them…

Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. Honor widows who are truly widows. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to their own household…

Header Sermon Bullet points 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Intro In our journey through Paul’s first letter to Timothy, we’re coming towards the end. Only a few weeks left. In today's passage, Paul once again loops back to one of the main themes of the letter, the importance of good doctrine, (that is, good teaching) and the danger of false teachers. We know…

Intro As we move toward the end of the letter we get a series of charges about how to keep the church healthy & holy. You may be tempted to think that because these are “rapid fire” topics that they are less important, but don’t be caught out. This is very much in-keeping with the theme of the whole…

Welcome... Introduce Self... Pray... Let all who are under a yoke as bondservants regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled.

Introduction Last week caring for widows; this week caring for elders The bulletin said 17–25. Your notes say 17–25. But I finally gave up and decided: we’re not getting through v. 25 today So this will be part 1 of caring for elders That’s what this whole passage is about: caring for elders. How should…

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she…

Exodus 20:12 Ephesians 6:1-3 When we began this study we looked at the time when Jesus was asked by one of the Scribes what is the greatest commandment. 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy…

The Gospel Fixes eternity and forms our values in this world.

Ephesians 6:1-4 We have been looking at the home the last few weeks. We looked at the need to live self-sacrificially in the home. If we live for ourselves, we will have a very miserable home. But if we life sacrificially for God and each other, we will have a God honoring, and loving home. We then looked…

If our goal is to better understand the value of the local church and church membership, we need to take some time to see what it looks like. “I can be a Christian without going to church.” How do you feel about that statement? First: simply going to church is part of what guides that statement. If I…

A man in 1580’s England came up with a saying “A fool and his money soon part.” He didn’t come up with that idea. It comes from the Bible. 20 Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of a wise person, but a fool consumes them. That’s an Old Testament way of saying, “A fool and his money soon part.”…

Good morning, turn in your Bible with me to Luke chapter 6. Last week we took time to look into a model of genuine love and address the fact that the Lord’s true disciples are marked by love because they don’t just love their family and friends, but they also are able to love their enemies. This is not…

Salvation is offered to all equally, but circumstance like gender, age, family, and role DO impact the ways we relate to each other.

Intro: When I remembered that today was Father’s Day, I started to debate whether or not to continue through our Daniel Study… and I decided that it might be nice to have a little change of pace and do a message that is geared towards the father’s in our congregation. Last October, for Pastor appreciation,…
