(This podcast was previously published on, November 2, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Judges 6   1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.  (7-years)   2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.   3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;   4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.   5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.   6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.   7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,   8 That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;   9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;   10 And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed MY voice.   If we fear those things the world fears, we take on "another god".  Instead we should turn to our God and ask HIM to deal with those fears which come from this world and we ask God to protect us as HIS people and know that HE is God and in control of those things which this world fears.

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, I just want to share with you a great story of generosity that might begin to shape our understanding and even future experience of "the good life." 1 I Timothy 6 contains some good, hard words that have helped me dig into the reality of God's good life. I hope they will do the same for you!

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?

What is a local church? There is a difference between an individual and a local church. Matthew 18:15-17 I Timothy 5:3-4, 16 Some say…

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. For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

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.

Getting to know God: Up Close…Book of Genesis (Celebrating Independence Day)What makes a nation great? Her connection to the God that made her. Psalm 33:12 & Prov. 14:34• Understanding the privileges & responsibilities of God SHARING His image with humanity • Understanding the privileges & responsibilities of Adam SHARING his rib with Eve• Understanding the privileges & responsibilities of all Christians being the Bride of Christ • Bride of Christ - Jesus is the Groom!• Body of Christ - Jesus is the Head!• Psalm 11:3, 3 Foundations: A Faith in God; A Family of God; A Nation under God I. The Trees - 1. Pleasing to the eyes 2. Good for food - II. The Tree of Life - 1. Brings fulfillment - Solomon uses this parallel in the Book of Prov 3:18; 11:30; 13:12; 15:42. Maintains our status - 3:24• State of innocence - • State of fallenness - • State of grace - In Adam or In Christ?• Romans 5; I Corinthians 15III. The Tree of the knowledge of    good & evil - “to know” =     experience. 4:1?1. Mankind knew good - saw good, experienced nothing but that which is good. 2. Man didn't know evil - never saw evil, never experienced anything evil. This was a test!3. Knowledge - carnal knowledge • Many today choosing Singleness over Marriage - fear of being hurt yet single people often experience fear of being alone. Both are hard. Both can hurt. One has the potential to share life. The other doesn't. Ecclesiastes 4:11-12• “When Sinners say “I do” • “What did you expect?”• Does the order of creation matter? Yes. Adam is held responsible for the fall! I Timothy 2:13• What does leave and cleave mean? Parents are not absent. They are now secondary. I Timothy 5• What does leave and cleave not mean?“A daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life, but a son is only a son until he finds himself a wife”

You can't chase contentment; you have to learn it. Philippians 4:11-12 I Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19 Ecclesiastes 5:10 Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 Pay…

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.

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? 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)

Today, Pastor Nate looks at I Timothy 6, and Matthew 6 to truly learn more about our heart and our money. 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.
