A Divine Blueprint: Practical Wisdom for Building Healthy Churches

Sermon series on the book of 1st Timothy

The letter of 1 Timothy is one of the pastoral epistles, written by Paul, as a mentor to a younger protégé Timothy, a pastor and significant part of his first century itinerate ministry. This book provides us with a holistic vision for the church, it is concerned with what the church believes, how it is led, and seeks to shape how it lives in public. This letter teaches us about commendable Christian leadership and how the church should be known for how we are concerned for those less fortunate as it seeks to follow Jesus. This epistle is helpful in the building of healthy churches and it inspires us to collectively fight the good fight of faith.

Resilient Life

The Resilient Life

We live in an anxious age. Our 24 hour news cycle, social media hype, and globally connected world fuels our fears. Danger seems to be lurking around every corner. To counter this, the secular world has crafted “safe spaces” to shield the next generation from pain and suffering. But is this the solution? Are we meant to avoid stress and live a comfortable?

Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians tells a different story. With boldness and love, Paul exhorts the believers: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8-9, ESV).” In short, he calls the Corinthian Christians, and us, to love the resilient life?

What is the resilient life? We are able to recover quickly, because we know where our hope lies. As Paul writes, “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison (2 Cor. 4:16-17, ESV).” This series will look at themes in 2nd Corinthians and draw from the five practices of resilience outlined in the book Faith for Exiles. By the end of this series, we hope you will be prepared to live a RESILIENT LIFE for Christ.
