Coram Deo Church — Bremerton, WA

This week, Pastor Jon preached on Matthew 28:16-20 as part of our sermon series on Legacy.

Paul calls himself the worst of sinners—and means it. In this episode on 1 Timothy 1:12-20, Pastors Jon and Rusten unpack the famous line, the Grand Canyon illustration of how far short we all fall, and why comparing ourselves to others misses the point. They explore how the gospel that saved even Paul now fuels the “good warfare” Timothy must wage: holding the faith and a good conscience. Along the way they address what truly counts as a gospel issue (including sexual immorality and unrepentant sin), the necessity of church discipline for wolves like Hymenaeus and Alexander, and why Christianity is a full-contact sport, not a social club.We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.

This week, Pastor Rusten preached on 1 Timothy 2 as part of our sermon series in the book of 1 Timothy.

In this opening conversation on 1 Timothy they unpack Timothy's costly heart for mission, the urgency of putting the household of God in order, why doctrine and life can never be separated, and how “vain discussions” and speculation still distract the church today—from wild eschatology claims to internet-pastor clickbait. They close by recovering the lawful use of the law: exposing sin and pointing us to Christ, then guiding grateful obedience that displays the beauty of God's design.We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides or anything else, email us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.
