What was Paul encouraging when he told timothy to fight the good fight?
How to be filled while taking the long way home.
We open 1 Timothy with a clear aim: build the kingdom with humble hearts and wise discernment. Paul's “trustworthy sayings” pull us back to the gospel while his counsel on teaching, prayer, and leadership forms a credible life together.• why pastoral letters need discernment rather than blanket rules• the aim of instruction as love from a pure heart and sincere faith• warnings against myths, speculation, and empty talk• the law used lawfully leading to the gospel, not pride• “Christ Jesus came to save sinners” as a center line• praying for all people and authorities to witness the gospel• worship without anger, status, or distraction• leadership character: above reproach, gentle, tested, hospitable• credibility with outsiders and patience with new leaders• humility as the engine of kingdom work and daily repentanceSend Mike a quick message!

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from 1 Timothy 6:6–12, Exodus 15:1–3, Ephesians 6:10–18, and Matthew 4:1–11, reminding the church that we are in a spiritual battle and cannot afford to be lulled to sleep. God is a man of war, fighting for His people, and He equips us with His Word and Spirit to stand against the enemy. To win, believers must stay sober, sharpen their sword through Scripture, and stir up the gift within them. Victory belongs to those who fight the good fight of faith
In this final message of the Stand Up! series, Paul’s closing words in 2 Timothy 4:6–22 remind us that the Christian life is a race to be run with endurance and a fight to be finished in faith. Drawing from his own example, Paul shows us how to live with the end in sight—pouring out our lives as an offering to God, staying faithful even when others fall away, trusting the Lord’s presence and power through every hardship, and leaving behind a legacy of faithfulness for those who follow. Finishing well isn’t about earthly success or recognition; it’s about running our race for the glory of the One who will one day welcome us home.

“Fight the Good Fight.” -1 Timothy 6:11-12
How do we avoid shipwreck?
When aggravated anger of God's enemies toward the work of His people with a real threat of attack that can cause the Church to emotional exhaustion and possibly interrupt the work, God's leaders must prepare His people with prayer, a plan of defense, and motivational preaching that can stop the threat and keep the people going. Be Prepared to Fight the Good Fight, and Often Your Enemies' Fearful Threats will Fizzle.
1 Timothy 1:18-20, Pastor Ben Killerlain
Josh Strelecki, Pastor-Teacher, explores the themes of spiritual warfare and the armor of God as described in Ephesians 6. He emphasizes that believers are engaged in a "good fight" that transcends physical confrontations, as it is fundamentally spiritual, involving a battle for the mind and heart. The sermon contrasts earthly perceptions of war with the divine perspective, where victory is already secured through Jesus Christ. Strelecki highlights apostle Paul's exhortation to put on the "whole armor of God," underscoring the importance of understanding and utilizing spiritual truths and doctrines as weapons and defense against spiritual adversaries.Strelecki delves into the role of institutions established by God, such as the church, marriage, family, and government, as reflections of eternal realities. He contrasts these with the corrupted powers and principalities described in Ephesians, influenced by spiritual wickedness. Through various scriptural references, including Romans 13 and Colossians 1, the sermon illustrates the nature and purpose of governmental authority and the believer's responsibility to live contrary to the world's darkness. He calls believers to live by faith, equipped with spiritual armament, to fight against the influence of darkness, emphasizing that true transformation occurs within believers' hearts and minds through God's Word.

The growth of the early church was a grass roots effort -- individuals shared their faith story to others, who then passed it along down the line. The Apostle Paul wrote many letters encouraging those missionaries to continue to do so, despite difficult times. His final letter to Timothy is a challenging reminder that the world still needs to hear about Christ, and it's our responsibility to faithfully hand that message to others like a runner passes along a baton.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In this episode, Sean discusses the importance of patience and perseverance when things are hard. He gives practical knowledge and biblical examples for staying strong when the going gets tough.
The Christian life includes a great conflict against the forces of sin and evil. This "race" we are running is not a competition between believers to find out who is the greatest, but a warfare that we all fight together. If we expect to be crowned when it is over we must enter the race, then run lawfully, and finish our course. In order to do that we are going to have to lay aside some things and put first in our lives the things that God has said must come first. We have too many cares that God did not give us to carry, and we waste too much time, knowing our time is limited. To be a good soldier of Christ takes more than a passive attitude toward his church and his cause.
Acts 15:1-20
When things get chaotic in our lives, we can either be too proud to pray, or we can fully submit, be humble, and cast all of our cares on the Lord.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos
