Pastor James continues our series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we saw that we must be unashamed of the Gospel.

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 28 2025 Our bodies are such an important part of our lives in this world, and yet we don't often stop to reflect on what God says about our bodies and what our bodies say about God. Our bodies are designed by God, belong to Him, and are central to His redemptive plan. Though deeply affected by sin—our bodies remain good, and for the Christian our bodies have been purchased by Jesus and are now temples where God dwells. We are called to see our bodies as gifts to be honored, cared for, and used for God's glory and service. Even in suffering, our physical limitations are part of God's good design and refinement. And as Christians we know that while our bodies play a part in our identity, the most important part of our identity is Christ who now dwells in us.

Through our mediator, Jesus Christ, we have been given direct access to the Father. Because of this incredible privilege, Paul urges us to pray on behalf of all people, including those in positions of authority. Our prayers should not only include petitions, but also praise and thanksgiving for all the Lord has done. Session three of Entrusted challenges us to cultivate hearts that are marked by prayer and praise.Verses Used:1 Timothy 2:1-8Romans 13:1Hebrews 9:15Acts 4:12Colossians 4:2Discussion Questions1. We are called to not only pray, but also engage in thanksgiving. Why do you think thanksgiving is important?2. How much of your prayer life is spent in gratitude? What are things you can be grateful for, regardless of circumstances in your life?3. What does it mean that Jesus is our mediator? Why is this so important to understand?4. What keeps you from praying?5. Why do you think Paul urges us to pray for all people, as well as those who are in authority? How would doing so help us live a tranquil and quiet life?

God has entrusted each of us with more than we realize—our resources, our time, even our words. Everything we hold belongs to Him, and He calls us to manage it faithfully. But what does it mean to steward those things well?

Pastor James begins a new series, Entrusted, walking through the book of 2 Timothy. This week we saw that we have been entrusted with the Gospel in order to pass it on.

Kyle Kauffman | Sept 21 2025 When evil and tragedy happen in this life it can leave us reeling. We may feel confused, angry, fearful, saddened, or even hopeless. We may have all sorts of questions that aren't always easily answered. And we are often left with the question of “How should we respond?” As followers of Jesus, we are to answer that question by going back to the scriptures and remembering the truth of the gospel and how it should shape us. As a church we have an opportunity to respond in a way that shows our true citizenship is in heaven and we are placed in this moment to reflect and point to our One True King – Jesus.

Big Idea: I am NOTHING! The Gospel is EVERYTHING!

[Hebrews 3:14]Dr. Soojin Lee

Lambs Camp

In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4, we are reminded that while life and ministry can be lonely, difficult, and full of opposition, we are never truly alone. Just as the Lord stood with Paul and strengthened him in his final days, He promises to stand with us and lead us safely into His heavenly kingdom. Join us as we close our Entrusted series and discover what it means to finish strong—not in a culture of pretense, but in a culture of grace.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Do you love a good mystery? Countless people enjoy the adventure of trying to figure out who done it. That doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to questions of religion. Being told, "it's a mystery", often feels like a cop out and it's disappointing at best and often leads to a rejection of religion altogether. The Apostle Paul talks about the mystery of the Gospel in his letter to the Ephesians. Fortunately for us, it is a mystery that is solved and becomes a glorious truth. What is the mystery, you ask?

The Church is God's missionary family, empowered by His presence, and entrusted with the Gospel for the spiritual war of advancing the Kingdom of Christ.---We desire to see the Gospel saturate a people, awakening them by the glory of God to treasure Jesus as better.For more Gospel-centered teaching and resources, including audio and video downloads of our sermons, please visit our website: http://www.thewellchurchok.com/resourcesInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/thewellchurchokFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/thewellchurchok

Joel Wood | Sept 14 2025 Relationships are a vital gift from God, reflecting His triune nature and design for human connection. In a world increasingly shaped by technology and artificial interaction, God calls us to prioritize real, face-to-face relationships with others created in His image. Relationships enrich our lives, offering sweetness, strength in trials, and the opportunity to grow in grace as we both give and receive it. They are also a means through which we influence others for Christ, carrying a unique responsibility and voice within our circles. Because of their value, relationships are worth the effort, sacrifice, and intentional care.

Welcome to Entrusted! Paul was entrusted with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he faithfully entrusted that to others, including Timothy. In our opening message, Paul instructs Timothy to beware of strange doctrines that were creeping into the church in Ephesus. By paying attention to the contents of their message, their corrupt character, and the impact their teaching had, strange doctrine was easy to spot. As these false teachers attempt to teach the Law, they misuse it. Instead, Paul exhorts Timothy to use the Law lawfully, according to the glorious gospel of Christ. Join us for session one of Entrusted as we examine how to spot strange doctrines and the intended purpose of the Law.Verses Used:1 Timothy 1:1-31 Timothy 1:3-7Titus 1:10-11Titus 1:13-141 Timothy 1:7-11Romans 3:20Galatians 4:4-5Galatians 3:13 & 241 Corinthians 6:9-11Discussion Questions:1. Have you ever been impacted by false teaching? What was the impact of that on your life?2. How does Paul describe the character of false teachers in 1 Timothy 1:3-7 & Titus 1:10-11?3. What is the effect of strange doctrine/unsound teaching? (See 1 Timothy 1:4-7 & Titus 1:10-11)4. How should we deal with false doctrine and unsound teaching? (See Titus 1:13-14)5. Paul says the Law is good if one uses it lawfully. What does this mean? How have you seen people use the Law "unlawfully?"6. How would you explain the purpose of the Law in your own words? (See Galatians 3:24)

As Paul nears the end of his life, he writes with urgency and clarity—charging Timothy (and us) to fulfill the ministry entrusted to us. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Pastor John walks us through what it means to die a worthy death, live a worthy life, and await a worthy crown. Whether you're running, limping, or crawling, keep going. The race is not over—finish strong.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Kyle Kauffman | Sep 7 2025Psalm 90 reminds us that the God who exists outside of time lovingly orders every season of our lives. Each stage—whether joyful or challenging—is not accidental but divinely purposed. Yet, we often miss the gift of the present by longing for the past or rushing toward the future. This psalm teaches that our time is limited, both in our life as a whole and in each unique season. Whether we're students, young adults, parents, or retirees, we must ask what God wants us to prioritize now, recognizing that every season comes with both opportunities and limitations. The dangers of laziness and over-busyness threaten every stage of life, so we must seek wisdom to live purposefully. As seasons come and go, God calls us to make the most of each one by worshiping him, serving others, doing our work faithfully, and resting in the finished work of Christ.

In a world that increasingly trades truth for comfort, we are reminded of the weight, the work, the war, and the way of faithful gospel ministry. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 4:1–5, Pastor John leads us in considering what it means to proclaim and endure sound doctrine in a time of itching ears. This message is a call for pastors to preach with conviction, and for the Church to listen with submission—anchored in the sufficiency of God's Word.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 31 2025 When we think about the idea of stewardship, we often jump immediately to thinking about finances. Money is a big part of our lives and God has a lot to say about money throughout the Bible. Money is a gift from God, given to meet our needs and entrusted to us as a reflection of His generosity. Yet, it is also a test—how we use our money reveals where our hope lies and what we truly worship. The Bible teaches that our financial choices expose the affections of our hearts. But money is more than just a gift or a test; it is also an opportunity—an opportunity to invest temporary resources into eternal purposes. The gospel transforms our view of money, making us a generous people who give not out of obligation, but with joy and sacrifice. In response to God's grace, we are called to give generously, cheerfully, and sacrificially, using what we have for His glory and the good of others.

In this powerful exploration of the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25, we're challenged to examine our stewardship of God's gifts. The central message reminds us that everything we have - our abilities, resources, and even our very lives - are entrusted to us by God.

In a world filled with deceptive currents, it's easy to drift spiritually without even realizing it. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 3:13–17, Pastor John unpacks how we can anchor ourselves in Christ and hold fast to God's Word so we don't get swept away. Discover the importance of discernment, continuing in the gospel you've received, and trusting Scripture to equip you for every good work.Mission Church - www.missionlasvegas.com

August 17, 2025 · Matt Sanders · 1 Thessalonians 2:7-13

Letting God Be Lord Over Your Finances, which Are His but He Entrusted to You, Will Liberate Your Life! MESSAGE SUMMARY:  We are so focused on earning money and other financially driven life activities so that it is easy for money and finances to become our god. Making finances “our god” violates the Second Commandment. If Jesus is Lord over all Creation, as we are told in Psalms 24:1, then: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.”; therefore, everything that has been entrusted to you is God's. In James 5:1-3, the author of the Book of James provides insight into someone who does NOT make God the Lord of their finances: “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.”. Therefore, let God Be Lord over your finances, which really are His finances.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

2 Timothy 1: 13-14 (The Treasure Entrusted to Us) Dr. Greg Payne, AEBC 175th Anniversary, 8/24/2025

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 24 2025Psalm 127 reminds us that children are not ultimately ours, but God's—His possession and His gift. They are blessings, not burdens, and the limitations they may bring to our lives are good and purposeful. Parents are called to be the primary shapers of their children's lives, aiming not merely for behavior or success, but for hearts that love and follow Jesus. This shaping involves intentional teaching, consistent modeling, and unconditional love. We are not able to carry out such an important calling apart from God's grace which we need for strength, for transformation, and for our failures. Ultimately, we are called to trust God with our children, continually entrusting them into His sovereign care.

In this message from our Entrusted series, Pastor John walks us through 2 Timothy 3:10–13, where Paul lays out a clear and reproducible pattern for true discipleship. Far from being a passive consumer of truth, a disciple is someone who walks closely, imitates faithfully, and multiplies intentionally.We explore three cords of this discipleship pattern:A Visible Pattern to Imitate – Teaching, Conduct, and PurposeA Spirit-Formed Character – Faith, Patience, and LoveA Willingness to Embrace the Cost – Endurance in the face of suffering and persecutionThrough Scripture, we are challenged to move from proximity to participation, from being hearers of the Word to doers, and from merely attending church to actively making disciples.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Brandon Fisher | August 17 2025 God entrusts us with different vocations and callings in our lives so that we might work for His glory and the good of other people. The Bible teaches us that work is a gift from God, not a curse to be avoided. Though sin has distorted our experience of work—bringing frustration, toil, and imbalance—it remains a meaningful part of God's design for our lives. Vocation is an important way we live out our faith, using our gifts and efforts to love and serve our neighbors, provide for those under our care, and give generously to others. Yet, with this gift comes danger: we can turn our work into an idol, grounding our identity solely in our jobs, overworking, or neglecting rest and relationships. Still, God is present and active in our vocations; He works through us to accomplish His purposes in the world—whether through parenting, teaching, building, caregiving, or leading. Ultimately, whatever season of life we're in, we are called to see our vocations as sacred opportunities to glorify God and bless others.

Don't Waste Our OpportunityText: 2 Corinthians 5:10–210. The Reality of the Judgment Seat (v. 10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.Believers' judgment is not for condemnation (Romans 8:1 makes that clear).This judgment is unto reward—the Bema Seat of Christ.Rewards will vary; greater faithfulness in following Christ will result in greater reward.This reality should fuel urgency in how we live and serve now.1. The Fear of the Lord Fuels Our Mission (v. 11)Right View of God – Most people, even believers, lack a healthy, reverent fear of God.RC Sproul: “A healthy, reverent fear of Christ's displeasure at the choices we often make is a healthy corrective.”Fear leads to wise choices – A balanced, reverential fear inspires holiness and accountability.Persuading Others – Not manipulation, but heartfelt appeal to accept the gospel.2. Why We're Here: Making Disciples (v. 11b, Col. 1:28)Our mission: Proclaim Christ, warn, and teach with wisdom.Goal: Present everyone mature in Christ.God knows our motives—half-hearted service is not hidden from Him.3. Avoid Ministry Pride (v. 12)Not about programs or showing off ministry “success.”John MacArthur: False teachers take pride in outward appearance, not sincere hearts.Our focus: advancing Christ's Kingdom, not our image.4. Willing to Be Called Crazy (v. 13–15)Paul was seen as extreme—so will we be if we truly live for Christ.The love of Christ controls us—His death changes everything.True disciples stop living for themselves and live for the One who died and rose again.Until the cross becomes personal, our lives and loyalties won't change.5. A New Way of Seeing (v. 16–17)Salvation is a total transformation—we are new creations.The old is gone; the new has come.New life means new priorities, new purpose, new mission.6. Entrusted with the Message (v. 18–19)We are reconciled to God through Christ.God has given us the ministry of reconciliation—to tell others they can be forgiven.We are message carriers with eternal news.7. Ambassadors for the King (v. 20–21)Ambassador role: We speak on Christ's behalf—eternal stakes are on the line.This is not a casual invitation—it's a divine summons to be reconciled to God.Our mission field is not just overseas—it's across the street.8. Call to ActionStop wasting time on what doesn't matter eternally.Get serious about evangelism and discipleship.Have a big vision for your church—if you don't, who will?

Fake Faith Exposed: How to Spot Spiritual CounterfeitsIn 2 Timothy 3:1–13, Paul warns about a dangerous reality in the last days—spiritual counterfeits that look godly but have no real power. Pastor John Lee explains how to recognize a counterfeit life, counterfeit religion, and counterfeit message, and points us to the only One who can transform us from the inside out: Jesus Christ.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

The Lord offers a parable that reveals the sober truth that we are stewards of the gift of our lives, challenging us to engage honesty, gratitude, and the Fruits of the Spirit to direct the unique blessings we have received from God.

Josh Stalnaker | Aug 10 2025God has uniquely gifted each of us with skills and abilities, not by accident, but through His intentional design and the work of His Spirit. Recognizing and discerning these gifts is part of our calling, yet pride often stands in the way—either by using our gifts for self-glorification or by holding back in fear of failure. True stewardship means using our gifts to serve others, whether in the church, in our vocations, or in everyday life, always in dependence on God and for His glory. We are called not only to know our gifts but to actively and humbly deploy them, trusting that God empowers both the gift and its impact.

In today's message, Pastor John unpacks 2 Timothy 2:23–26, where Paul gives a powerful final image of a disciple-maker: the Lord's servant. From a Roman prison, Paul calls Timothy—and us—not just to proclaim the right message, but to become the kind of person God can use.We'll explore four key marks of the servant God uses: surrendered to Jesus, slow to argue, gentle in posture, and fully dependent on God to change hearts. This is a call to trade quarrels for compassion and win souls, not just arguments.——

Kyle Kauffman | Aug 3 2025 Everything we have ultimately belongs to God, and the abundance we enjoy is a reflection of His goodness and generosity. True stewardship begins with a heart of gratitude, recognizing that all we possess is not ours to own, but God's to entrust for a time. Because we won't have these resources forever, we're called to use them wisely and faithfully, not wasting what God has given, but investing it in ways that honor Him. In response to His grace, our aim should be to please God with all that we have, living not as owners, but as faithful stewards of His gifts.

In today's message, Pastor John Lee unpacks Paul's powerful metaphor of vessels in a large house — some used for honor, others for dishonor — and calls us to examine the direction of our lives. Are we living in a way that is clean, surrendered, and useful in the hands of the Master?Through three heart-searching questions, we're invited to:*Reflect on where we are spiritually*Consider who we're becoming*Learn how to remain useful in God's handsThis message is a grace-filled invitation to repentance, spiritual renewal, and purposeful discipleship — all in pursuit of becoming the kind of people God can use.——Learn more or plan your visit: www.missionlasvegas.comFollow us for more weekly encouragement and teaching.
