Renew Bible Church

In the eighth installment of the “Sound Doctrine” series through 1 Timothy, the focus turns to money, wealth, and possessions. Drawing from 1 Timothy 6, the message explores contentment, the dangers of loving money, and the responsibility to use what God provides wisely and generously. Believers are challenged to reject both the idolization and shaming of wealth, examine their own relationship with money, and place their hope in God rather than uncertain riches. The central call is to trust that God’s design for money is healthier and more life-giving than anything the culture offers.

Sound Doctrine | Pastor Chris Heller

The church is called to care for one another with wisdom, compassion, and fairness. Believers should support those in need, treat one another as family, and bear with others without enabling harmful behavior. Following Jesus’ example, the church should notice and care for people others may overlook.

Drawing from 1 Timothy 4, this sermon challenges believers to train spiritually with intentionality and discipline. Against a backdrop of false teaching and cultural pressure, Christians are called to nourish themselves on sound doctrine through Scripture, prayer, fellowship, service, and witness. Rather than performance-based faith, the message emphasizes grace-driven growth and the restoring power of Jesus through seasons of doubt and struggle.

Drawing from 1 Timothy 3, this sermon examines the biblical qualifications for church leaders and God’s standard for healthy, godly leadership. While no leader is perfect, Scripture calls leaders to pursue a clear standard rooted in character, humility, and faithfulness. The message contrasts helpful leadership with servant leadership, pointing to Christ as the ultimate example. True leadership isn’t about position or success, but serving others and following Jesus, who came not to be served, but to serve.

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Men, Women, and Church Leadership: What Does Scripture Actually Say? | Pastor Chris Heller

What does the Bible teach about the roles of men and women in the church? Looking at 1 Timothy 2:1–15, this message explores one of Scripture’s most debated passages through the historical setting of Ephesus, Paul’s call to sound doctrine, and God’s design for men and women. Rather than approaching a difficult passage with division, we’re called to understand it with humility and grace. Men and women are equal in worth and giftedness while serving in complementary roles, with Christ at the center of our identity, dignity, and purpose.

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | The Assembly | Pastor Chris Heller

What should it look like when God’s people come together as the church?

In 1 Timothy chapter 2, Paul gets pretty practical, talking about everything from

from prayer and concern for others to the attitudes and actions that should characterize our conduct and how we relate to one another.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Sound Doctrine series and unpack some challenging words from Paul. Together, we’ll see how they point us toward humility, grace, and a healthy way of living out our faith as the church.

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Pastor Chris Heller

1 Timothy 1:8-20

What’s the purpose of sound doctrine, and what does it have to do with grace? Using sound doctrine as the plumb line, how does our faith measure up?

Paul knew firsthand what it meant to be changed by grace. His story reminds us that none of us is beyond the reach of God, and none of us ever outgrows our need for Him.

This Sunday, we’ll be challenged to take an honest look at our own hearts

and consider what it looks like to hold tightly to faith in the daily challenge of following Christ.

Sound Doctrine - 1 Timothy | Pastor Chris Heller

We’re looking forward to this Sunday as we launch our fall sermon series “Sound Doctrine”, a journey through the book of 1 Timothy. Together, we’ll explore God’s blueprint for a healthy church, what we at Renew believe, why we believe it, and our response as a result of it.

While doctrine can sometimes feel like a heavy topic, don’t let the title scare you! We’ll approach these important truths through the lens of grace, asking not only what a healthy church should believe, but what it looks like when we live those beliefs out together. And because growing in faith is a process, we’ll be reminded to extend grace—to ourselves and to one another—as God continues His work of shaping and maturing each of us.

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Crushed | Pastor Chris Heller

Judges 16

This Sunday we will be wrapping up our Help Is On the Way series with the dramatic conclusion to the life of Samson. We will also be observing Communion.

Samson’s story is one of incredible strength, devastating weakness, and a God who is not finished—even when everything seems lost. Samson’s choices finally catch up with him, leaving him broken, blinded, and seemingly defeated. But in his darkest moment, he turns back to the Lord, and God gives him strength one final time.

We hope you’ll join us as we discover that failure doesn’t have to be the final chapter—God can still accomplish His purposes through a life surrendered to Him.

Help Is On The Way - Judges | Slow To Anger | Pastor Chris Heller

Judges 15

This week we’ll see Samson’s story takes a dramatic turn as anger, revenge, and conflict seem to spiral out of control. Yet, even through Samson’s impulsive choices and complicated character, God is still at work, using an imperfect man to accomplish His purposes and deliver His people.
