The Nature of False Teaching (1 Timothy 4:1-5)

•Source: Demonicly Inspired, Hypocritical Liars (4:1-2)
The ultimate source of false teaching is Satan deceiving teachers.

•Content: Unnecessary and Ungrateful Abstinence (4:3)
False teaching limits the gracious provision of God with rules.

•Corrective: The Grace of God, The Word of God, and Prayer (4:4-5)
Prayerful believers find the grace of God’s freedom in His Word.

The Proper Response to False Teaching (1 Timothy 4:6-16)

Step #1: Identify & Disassociate (4:6-8)
- Know the truth well enough to identify error (6).
- Focus on godliness rather than controversies (7).
- Investing in godliness pays off now and in the future (8).

Step #2: Hope in God (4:9-10)
- Everyone should acknowledge that God is the source of true hope (9).
- Our hope is in the living God who saves all who believe (10).

Step #3: Command & Teach (4:11-14)
- Teach with authority (11).
- Live an exemplary life (12).
- Stay rooted in Scripture (13). -
- Serve in your SHAPE (14).

Step #4: Be Diligent (4:15-16)
- Clearly exhibit extra-mile dedication (15).
- Consistently prioritize your beliefs and behavior (16).

God has designed the church to battle for sound doctrine
by exposing false teaching and presenting the truth.

Introduction: Battle like a Wildebeest.

Prayer in Worship: Prayer is a Priority in Public Worship (2:1-8)

Every believer must pray peacefully for peace to the Prince of Peace.

• The Practice of Prayer (2:1)

• Requests (δέησις): prayer with a sense of urgency

• Prayers (προσευχή): general term for communication with God

• Intercessions (ἔντευξις): pray on behalf of others

• Thanksgiving (εὐχαριστία): grateful acknowledgement of specific provision

• The Purpose of Prayer (2:2-4)

• Pray for leaders (2:2a).

• Pray for a context for Godly living (2:2b).

• Pray for the conversion of unbelievers (2:3-4).

• The People of Prayer (2:5-8).

• The Mediator: Christ Jesus (2:5-7)

      • One God • One Mediator • Christ Jesus • Ransom for all

• The Men: Godly male initiators of prayer (2:8a)

• The Manner: Holy Hands with Focus (2:8b)
  

Men in Worship: Praying Men are a Priority in Public Worship (2:8)
Men should lead by example in focused prayer in the community.

God has designed the church to be a place of prayer
focused on godly living and sharing the gospel.

Mission Prayer Focus: The Maasina Fulani of Côte d'Ivoire
Numbering over half a million, they are deeply rooted in Islam and guided by a cultural code called Pulaaku, they value dignity, morality, and tradition. Only 0.2% identify as Christian—many fearing backlash if they convert. With lives centered on herding, farming, and seasonal migration, they need gospel messengers who will patiently build trust and share the good news through story and relationship. Pray for open hearts and a disciple-making movement among them.

Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Northern Khampa of China
The Northern Khampa of China, a Tibetan nomadic people group of 151,000, remain nearly untouched by the gospel with just 0.01% identifying as evangelical Christians. Known for their bold traditions and isolated lifestyle, they face deep spiritual blindness and strong cultural barriers to the gospel. While some ministry resources exist, no Scripture, church, or Christian presence has ever taken root among them. They need believers willing to go and embody Christ's love. Pray for open hearts, spiritual hunger, and a powerful movement among the Northern Khampa.

Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Adu people of China
The Adu people of China, a subgroup of the Yi nationality, number just 8,200 and remain entirely unreached with the gospel. Though they speak a dialect of Yunnan Chinese and have access to the complete Bible, Jesus Film, and audio recordings, there are no known Christians among them. Most younger Adu are non-religious, while older generations hold to animistic traditions. Isolated and largely unaware of the gospel, they need workers willing to bring the message already prepared in their language. Pray for a spiritual hunger and a powerful movement to Christ among the Adu.

Introduction: The Importance of a Succession Plan

• Moses and Joshua

• David and Solomon

• Paul and Timothy

Looking Back: Your Gifts and Calling are True (1:18a)

Every believer must stay true to their calling and gifts.

• Every believer has been gifted to serve.

• Gifted service is recognized by others.

Pressing On: The Battle and Message is Real (1:18b-19a)

The fight for the gospel is worthy of intensity and integrity.

• Fight for the right thing—the gospel truth.

• Fight in the right way—the integrity of love.

• Fighting in a Modern World - Power: Truth without Love

• Fighting in a Post Modern World - Acceptance: Love without Truth

• Fighting in a Metamodern World - Purpose: Meaning without Truth

The Troublemakers: Hymenaus and Alexander (1:19b-20)

False teachers will be dealt with and ultimately know the truth.

• False Teachers reject truth: the core doctrines of faith.

• False Teachers reject Integrity: having a good conscience.

• Fale Teachers shipwreck their relationship with God.

• False Teachers will ultimately know the truth.
  
  
  

God has designed the church to battle for sound doctrine
with a clear conscience expressed in integrity and love.

Mission Prayer Focus: The Jebala in Morocco
Numbering around 1.31 million, they are traditionally Muslim. Most have never heard a clear gospel message, and any decision to follow Christ comes with high personal cost. The Scripture and the Jesus Film are available. Pray for open hearts and for churches to be planted that spark gospel movements in their region.
