Shipwrecked Faith

The Apostle Paul knew trouble was coming to the church at Ephesus. To head off that trouble, he leaves Timothy there to steer the church into a healthy direction.

Goofballs and Dictators

The Church in America often finds itself with a shortage of leaders that fit the description of leadership that we see in the Apostle Paul. A better share of the time the church is being led by those who have no business being in leadership. Many of those who end up in leadership are ambitious goofballs or dictators. Chapter three of 2 Thessalonians is so important for we find an example of what we should be looking for when it comes to those who are in leadership positions. Join us in the opening verses of chapter three as the Apostle Paul models Biblical leadership.

When They Say Peace and Safety

Our study in 1 Thessalonians brings us to an interesting phrase, “When they say Peace and Safety sudden destruction will come upon them.” What that phrase leads us to is a study of two of the most overlooked characters in the Book of the Revelation. These two characters will be responsible for bringing much pain upon a Christ rejecting World. Join us in our study of 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, as we explore what’s behind this well-known phrase “Peace and Safety.”

The Will of God

As Apostle Paul closes out 1 Thessalonians he drills down on what God’s will is for each of our lives. And what we learn is that first and foremost, His Will is not about geography, it’s not about where He wants us, but who He wants us to be. More specific, His will is about who He wants us to be as we live out our faith among His people. Please join us as we finish chapter five of 1 Thessalonians, looking at family matters in the household of God.
