This week on So Brook Hills, Dennis Blythe joins Matt and Daniel to the sermon from this past Sunday, "Believe" from I Timothy 1:15-20.
Neil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchWhy Jesus Is Not Safe For the Entire FamilyMatthew 10:34-421. Jesus came to bring heaven to bear on earth, v. 34“Do not think I have come to bring peace to the earth.”2. Jesus insists on being the affection priority, v. 35-37“Jesus talks in this radical, shocking, one-sided way often. He expects us to be startled,awakened, made serious. And then he expects us to put the proper boundaries around whathe's saying by remembering what he said elsewhere.” ~ John Piper• “See what kind of love the Father has given to us...”• Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as you loveyourself.”• You shall have no other gods before me.• You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven or earth,or bow down to serve them.sus came to ensure everybody gets a cross, v. 38-39“The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross; yet in its ugliness it remains the mosteloquent testimony to human dignity.” ~ R. C. Sproul• I John 3:14• I Timothy 6:17-19"This is not a fulfilling life. It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfillingfrom a sense of the deepest places of your heart. There's a lot of people that make it to whatthey thought was going to fulfill them in life and then you get there and all of a sudden, you getto number one in the world, and then they are like, what's the point? I really do believe thatbecause what is the point? ~ Scottie SchefflerMental worship...1. What has changed in how you think about Jesus since you came to faith?

The Bible records many times that two or three witnesses must agree on a certain point before it is said to be true. Some of these are: Deuteronomy 17:6, 19;15, Matthew 18:16, 18:19-20, II Corinthians 13:1 and I Timothy 5;19. The Bible gives three undeniable proofs of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. 1. The enemies of God. 2. The creation of God. 3. The people of God. 1. The enemies of God include Pilate, Matthew 27:65, Luke 23:4, Matthew 27:23-24. Pilate's wife: Matthew 27;19. Perhaps the most telling is when the soldiers witness the resurrection but were given much money and told to spread it around that the disciples stole the body. 2. The creation of God also testified silently, in Matthew 28:2, by a great earthquake and an angel from God sitting on the stone, which was moved from the burial opening. Matthew 27:45 declares there was darkness over the land from 12:00 noon to 3:00 PM. Matthew 27:51 states the veil of the temple was divided from the top to the bottom. Psalms 19:3-4 tells us that the even though creation cannot speak, their witness goes out all over this world. 3. The witness of the people of God. Matthew 27:52-53 speaks of physically dead individuals raising from the dead and going into the city and appeared to many. Matthew 28:9-10 records that Jesus told women to tell his disciples of a future meeting in Galilee. Matthew 16:9 tells of the first person who saw him, Mary Magadelene. Luke 24:13-35 speaks of two disciples on the road to Emmaus. God has given many witnesses of his resurrection, more than we can mention. God wants you to know his resurrection is real.

(This podcast was previously published on September 13, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The Old Testament and the children of God: Moses selected men from the tribes of Israel and they assisted him in judging the people. There were 600,000 men (plus women and children) in the wilderness so it became too much for Moses to do all the work alone. Moses' father-in-law suggested another plan for Moses in dealing with the people. Exodus 18 8 And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them. 9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom HE had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 10 And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, WHO hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly HE (God) was above them. 12 And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
In this week's summertime rerun, Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye discuss the (still) hot topic of women in ministry within the Church. Throughout Christian history, with the increased institutionalization of the Church came very set patterns of misogyny. And certain passages of Scripture have been used to fuel both sides of this debate as to what role women can and should take within the Church. Episode Links Dr. White has written several blogs that may serve as helpful additions to today's conversation, such as a blog titled “Beth Moore in the Pulpit,” in which he explores the complementarian vs. egalitarian views held by many within the Church. And one of the most foundational things Dr. White laid out was to follow “The Biblical Model of Leadership.” The conversation also touched on Jesus and how He viewed women. Check out this blog simply titled “Sexism” to explore more about this. Also mentioned was the letter of I Timothy in the New Testament and how that has impacted many churches' views on women in ministry. Dr. White mentioned that a good book on this is The Message of 1 Timothy & Titus by John R.W. Stott. And at the beginning of the discussion you heard Alexis mention a conversation that took place in a Christianity Today podcast titled “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.” While the entire podcast had a lot to contribute to the topic of women in the Church, Episode 13 in particular includes an insightful interview with the CEO of CT, Tim Dalrymple.

Summer at Bay Chapel | JULY 12, 2026Pastor Wes Morris I Peter 2:9 (NIV) But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.God didn't just save you from something. He called you for something.√ WE REDUCE OUR FAITH TO WHAT GOD DOES FOR US. Luke 17:12-19 (NIV) As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”√ WE FEEL UNWORTHY OF THE CALLING.I Timothy 1:15-16 (NLT) This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. √ WE WAIT FOR BIG MOMENTS AND MISS THE DAILY OPPORTUNITIES.1 Samuel 17:17–18 (NLT) One day Jesse said to David, “Take this basket of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread, and carry them quickly to your brothers. And give these ten cuts of cheese to their captain...”God-sized miracles often start with simple acts of obedience.MADE FOR MOREI. LET GOD REDEFINE WHO YOU ARE.I Peter 2:9 (NIV) But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession... II. SHIFT THE QUESTION FROM “WHAT DO I NEED?” TO “WHY AM I HERE?”I Peter 2:9 (NIV) But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises...III. LET YOUR LIFE POINT PEOPLE TO JESUS.I Peter 2:12 (NLT) Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your good deeds, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.Matthew 5:14-16 (TLB) You are the world's light—a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.

I Timothy 3:15 gets to the heart of the importance of the local, gathered church in God's work in the world. The local church is the pillar of the truth in each community around the globe. Therefore, our conduct must match the high calling with which we have been entrusted, especially amongst the church's leadership.
Because we've received the gift of the Holy Spirit, living in us, the Spirit can change us over time. I Timothy 4:7-10 shows us that grace is not opposed to effort; rather, godliness happens through training. Jesus himself practiced the Spirit empowered disciplines of solitude, dwelling in the Word, prayer, simplicity & fasting, Sabbath, service and gathering for worship. Because we have the Spirit we can too. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on May 31, 2026.
ROOM TO BREATHE PT. 3 | MAY 17, 2026Pastor Wes MorrisI Timothy 6:6 (NIV) Godliness with contentment is great gain.✓ WE LIVE IN A CULTURE THAT TRAINS US TO BE DISCONTENT.✓ WE KEEP CHASING MORE BUT NEVER FEEL LIKE IT'S ENOUGH.Luke 12:16-21 (NLT) Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don't have room for all my crops.' Then he said, ‘I know! I'll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I'll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. And I'll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”'“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?' “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”✓ WE ALLOW COMPARISON TO TURN BLESSINGS INTO BURDENS. Proverbs 14:30 (NIV) A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.WHEN MORE ISN'T ENOUGHI. LEARN TO BE CONTENT WITH WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN ME. Philippians 4:13 (NIV) I can do all this through him who gives me strength.Philippians 4:11-12 (NIV) I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.Contentment is freedom from the constant pressure to upgrade your life in order to enjoy your life.Q: What am I currently looking to for peace, satisfaction, or validation besides God?II. MAKE DECISIONS TODAY THAT PROTECT MY PEACE TOMORROW.Proverbs 14:15 (NIV) The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.Q: Are the decisions I'm making today creating freedom or creating pressure?III. BUILD MY LIFE AROUND WHAT TRULY MATTERS.I Timothy 6:11-12 (NIV) But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called…Q: If my life keeps moving in its current direction, will I become the person God is calling me to be?
I Timothy 3:13-17 shows us that scripture is important for both salvation (pointing to Jesus) and spiritual development (as “God-breathed”instruction). A healthy practice involves reading often, prioritizing quality (reading with purpose and a “needy attitude”) over speed, and making an effort to internalize scripture (memorization and meditation/murmuring). The post Love Your Bible appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA.
What in the world does Paul mean, "Women shall be saved through childbearing?" Paul, who is usually so clear on salvation by grace through faith, gave us one of the hardest verses in the New Testament to interpret in I Timothy 2:15. We believe that Paul is not talking about justification or regeneration in this verse, but about progressive sanctification. Most women will experience progressive sanctification as they devote themselves to their God-given role of raising children in a godly home. We seek to elevate the high-calling of the domestic role and the bringing up of children as the normal Christian life for women full of challenges and rewards.

You will be pleasantly surprised how natural it is to stay spiritually disciplined, committed to walking with the Lord, and to have the desire to serve others once you experience inner peace with God, yourself, and everybody else. I Timothy 1:18-19

Daily Dose of Hope April 24, 2026 Scripture: 1 Timothy 6 Prayer: Lord Jesus, Help us be productive members of your Kingdom. I know we fall short. I know we mess up. Call us, let us hear your voice, and we will respond. We will say yes. Give us the courage and boldness to be the people you called us to be. We love you, Lord. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. We are currently walking through the letters of Paul and today, we are finishing our eleventh letter, I Timothy. Today's reading is 1 Timothy 6. As we close Paul's first letter to Timothy, we find more advice reflecting the time, place, and culture of Paul and Timothy, specifically regarding slaves having respect for their masters. Paul's words in NO WAY justify or encourage slavery. Slavery was certainly a reality in the Roman Empire (scholars estimate possibly a third of all people living at the time were slaves). People sold themselves and their families into slavery simply to have access to food. It was an ugly existence. But throughout Scripture, including Paul's letters, there is much talk of freedom and equality in Christ. While Paul was pretty revolutionary in many of his teachings, as far as we know, he didn't tackle the institution of slavery. He did try to create parameters around it, however, but his primary objective was to spread the Good News of Christ. I'm grateful for the many Christ-followers who came hundreds of years after Paul and did make a stand against the institution of slavery. Their courage and determination also came from their faith in Jesus and they used Jesus' teachings and also many of Paul's writings to oppose the ownership of other humans. Slavery is still a reality around the globe. The Global Slavery Index estimates that over 40.3 million people are currently trapped in modern day slavery, the vast majority being women and children. (globalslaveryindex.org) This includes what we typically think of as human trafficking but includes forced labor around the world, including in many of our supply chains. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry. As Christ-followers, we should be actively working against human trafficking and other kinds of slavery. Slave owners and human traffickers prey especially on the poor and vulnerable. Jesus clearly taught and demonstrated that every single human life has value. He lifted the status of women and children and demonstrated extraordinary love toward the poor and oppressed. Paul wrote in Galatians 3:28, There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Paul closes the letter with another warning about false teachers. Anyone who teaches something contrary to Jesus, then they are "conceited and understand nothing." Those are Paul's words. He also says to beware of people who encourage conflict and quarrels, or those who are overly interested in financial gain. And then there is a final charge to Timothy. He wants Timothy to focus on righteousness and encourage others to do so as well. Again, Paul emphasizes that Timothy command those who are rich to not be arrogant and to put their trust in what has eternal value. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

I. The Obituary: Paul was born by the name Saul in the great city of Tarsus in Cilicia around 5 AD. Paul was executed for his faith in the city of Rome as a martyr under Emperor Nero (circa 67 AD). Paul was born a Roman citizen and trained as a strict Pharisee under the leadership of Gamaliel. He was a skilled tent maker, follower of the risen Christ, Apostle, Missionary, and human author of at least 13 New Testament books (Romans, I & II Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I & II Thessalonians, I & II Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and possibly Hebrews). Prior to his conversion to Christ on a Damascus road he was an aggressive persecutor of the early church. Paul became the most influential proponent of Christianity, preaching the gospel of grace through faith, not by the works of the law. He endured severe hardships, including physical beatings, imprisonments, shipwrecked, and hunger. Paul's tireless missionary journeys established churches in Asia Minor and Europe, fostering a unified community of Jewish and Gentile Christians. Paul spoke of his death in his final days from prison in his last letter, saying, I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED THE RACE, I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH (II Timothy 4:7). He is not survived by a family of his own, but by thousands of spiritual children in the churches he founded. He is preceded in death by the Apostle James and the Deacon Stephen. Funeral arrangements are unknown. PRAY!II. The 3 Perspectives of Paul's life:•What would Paul say about himself?•I Timothy 1:12-15•Phil. 1:21; 3:1-9•What would others say about Paul?•Galatians 1:18-24•What would the Lord say about Paul?•Acts 9:10-16; Acts 18:9-11: II Cor 12:8-10III. We Remember Paul today based on his last words in Acts 20.•A life of serving - vv. 17-19•A life of sharing - vv. 20-21•A life of sacrificing - vv. 22-24•A life of shepherding - vv. 25-31•A life of strengthening - vv. 31-35•A life of sorrow - vv. 36-38•Jesus ends in Jerusalem (Calvary) then begins in Jerusalem (Pentecost)•Acts opens in Jerusalem and ends in Rome - take note of that, my friends.
What is the Christian to think when told so often that the "facts of science" prove evolution—and disprove the Bible's story of man's history?Not all "facts" are created equal. For example, the fact that Jesus Christ was a real person is not open to interpretation. He is mentioned in the Bible and by other writings of the time—that's a fact. Evolutionists use a different meaning for the word "fact."A fossil, the "Tepexpan Man," is an example of an evolutionary "fact." Tepexpan Man is a fossil which, school children were taught, lived over 10,000 years ago. Evolutionists themselves recently proved that "Tepexpan Man" is not only less than 2,000 years old but is actually a woman! An object found in the United States was said to be a fossilized egg, possibly 16 million years old. Now it has been learned that the object is a three-to-five-year-old stomach stone from a modern mammal—possibly a cow. A giant fossil found in South Australia early in 1990 was declared to be Australia's largest dinosaur bone. Further study has now shown the object to be a fossilized tree trunk. All "facts" are not created equal.If you went to school more than 20 years ago, you need to know that most of the "facts" that you were taught in support of evolution have since been found to be either in error or open to serious question. Evolutionary "facts" are only interpretations of the world. So the Christian can follow the Scripture with confidence, knowing that the Bible is unchallenged by the "facts" of evolution.I Timothy 6:20-21"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen."Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, as the word made Flesh, You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Give Christians a boldness of faith so that we are unintimidated by the claims against Your truth which are made by the unbelieving world. Amen.Image: The Tepexpan skull on display at the Tepexpan Museum, Mario Yaír TS, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons.

Summary: As we return to our pre-Christmas study of I Timothy, we come to chapter three, where Paul lays out the qualifications to serve as an elder in the church. In doing so, he gives us a portrait of not only the character required for spiritual leadership, but of leadership that even the secular world acknowledges attracts followers. For Further Prayerful Thought:How does Paul's insistence that fulfilling a spiritual leadership position is a “noble task” affect your perspective about such positions?How can we better remember that fulfilling the leadership positions assigned to us by Jesus with excellence brings honor to Him?Which of the six virtues most stood out to you 1) above reproach, 2) a one-woman man, 3) sober-minded, 4) self-controlled, 5) exhibiting an ordered life, 6) demonstrating love for the outsider.Which of the above six do you most need to focus upon building?

God knew something about ourself when he wrote about money and giving over 2200x in scripture. Apparently he knew this would be a touchy issue for all of us! Grab your pen (or your electronic device notes app), open your heart, and be willing to hear some truths about our money and giving that we all need to hear.
= A New Testament Pastor is a Shepherd (points to his task)= A New Testament Pastor is an Overseer (points to his authority)= A New Testament Pastor is an Elder (points to his maturity) = Hebrews 13:7; 17 - congregation to pastor and pastor to congregation. I. Intensity & Intentionality Required - 1. Flee - Run from the wrong things 2. Pursue - Run to the right things 3. Fight the good fight (I Tim 6:11-12) 4. PO/PO - Ephesians 4 5. Flee - James 4:7 • We run away from sin (sanctification), but Satan runs away from you (submission) II. The Shepherds as Bond-Servants: 1. “Must not be” - “quarrelsome.” • I Timothy 2:8; 3:3; 6:4 • Titus 3:2; Titus 3:9 • II Timothy 2:14; 2:23; 2:24 2. “Must be” - Serving & Discerning • Kind to everyone - (leads to repentance - Romans 2:4) • Able to teach - unique word here and I Timothy 3:2. Ezra 7:10, The hand of the Lord is upon him because He SET HIS HEART to (3): Rigorous study; Regular obedience; Robust teaching. • Not resentful - (patient when wronged). Many commentators noted that this is one of the most difficult challenges of a pastor. What is the key to being faithful to this verse? Making sure ministry is about His Name; His Word; His Will. It's not about us. • Correcting opponents w/ gentleness - (correcting carefully) - Look to Joseph of Genesis and Jesus of Nazareth! Genesis 50:20; I Peter 2:21-23 3. Must Trust God when correcting: We must trust God to change people - We follow His commands • God will grant them repentance • God will lead them to the knowledge of the truth • They will come to their senses - • They will escape from the trap of the devil - “who has taken them captive to do his will.”

The Generous Life Pt. 2 | November 16, 2025Pastor Wes Morris Proverbs 11:24 (MSG) The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.√ I NEED TO PROTECT MYSELF.Proverbs 29:25 (NIV) Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.√ HAVING MORE WILL MAKE ME SECURE.Mark 10:21–22 (NLT) Jesus looked at him and loved him. “There is still one thing you haven't done,” he said. “Go and sell all your possessions…then come, follow me.” At this the man's face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.”√ WHAT I HAVE DETERMINES WHO I AM.II Corinthians 8:1-2 (NLT) Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia. They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.A LIFE THAT OVERFLOWSI. OPEN YOUR HEART TO HEALING.Luke 10:31-33 (NIV) A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.II. PLACE YOUR SECURITY IN JESUS.Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV) I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation…I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.III. LIVE WITH ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE.I Timothy 6:17-19 (NIV) Command them not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.NEXT STEPSWhere is God asking you to show courage this week so your life can overflow - in healing, in trust, or in living with an eternal perspective?

Episode Summary: In Psalm 119:97, David cries out, “Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.” But Paul wrote to the Romans, “You are not under law but under grace,” (6:14) and to the Galatians, “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law” (5:18). So, for Christians, which is it? Are we called to live free from the Law or devoted to the Law? As we continue our study of I Timothy we realize that the question of the place of the law for Christians was an issue that Timothy and other church leaders at Ephesus were wrestling with. This episode examines what Paul said to Timothy as well as what the rest of Scripture says about whether a believer should try to be righteous, i.e. keep the law.For Further Prayerful Thought:How would try to explain to a new believer that when Paul said that Christians don't live “under the law” he was referring to how we are SAVED, not how we are TO LIVE.What stood out to you about the three categories of biblical law?Look back at the 8 texts and reasons that pursuing righteousness is NOT legalism. Which ones seemed most persuasive to you.In David's Psalm 119 cry, “O how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day” why might he associate loving God's law with meditating on it?For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)
