In 1 Timothy 6:2b–21, Paul gives Timothy a final charge to guard the gospel, reject corrupt teaching and cravings, and pursue a life shaped by eternity. We are called to hold fast to what matters and faithfully pass the faith on to the next generation.

In Love Like Family from 1 Timothy 5:1–6:2a, Paul calls the church to live as a true spiritual family—treating one another with honor, compassion, and respect. This passage reminds us that the gospel is not only something we believe, but something we live out in everyday relationships shaped by love and faithfulness.

In a world full of competing voices, how do Christians remain grounded in truth? In this message from 1 Timothy 3:14–4:16, we’re reminded of the importance of watching both our lives and our doctrine closely.

In our Passing the Torch series, we look at 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and God’s call for leadership rooted in character rather than charisma. Paul reminds us that trust is built over time—in homes, habits, and everyday faithfulness—and that God’s church is led by people whose lives can be trusted.

In Praying Beyond Ourselves from 1 Timothy 2, we’re reminded that the church is called to lift our eyes beyond our own concerns and pray for all people—even those we may disagree with or struggle to understand. Paul shows us that prayer and worship are not private acts but powerful witnesses, shaping how the world sees Jesus through His church.

This passage challenges us to examine both who we pray for and how we live, asking whether our lives amplify the gospel or distract from it. As we learn to pray broadly and worship faithfully, we discover what it truly means to pass the torch of faith to the next generation.

In today’s sermon, we look at 1 Timothy 1:12–20 and consider what it means when God entrusts us with responsibility. Paul reflects on the mercy he received through Christ and how that grace shaped his calling and faithfulness. This passage reminds us that the gospel doesn’t just rescue us—it forms us and calls us to live faithfully in response. This message is part of our Passing the Torch series through 1 and 2 Timothy.

In the opening message of our new series Passing the Torch: Faith Handed Down, we begin our journey through 1 Timothy by looking at Paul’s charge to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:1–11.

Paul writes not to win theological debates, but to protect the health of the church and the clarity of the gospel. This sermon explores why sound doctrine matters, how the law is meant to reveal our need for grace, and why faith in Jesus, not performance, is what makes us right with God.

As we start this series, we’re invited to reflect on what kind of faith we are carrying—and what kind of faith we are passing on to others.
