The idea of advent is the waiting for the arrival. An important aspect of waiting is anticipating what will happen. It’s too easy to lose hope when something is delayed, yet we’re encouraged to take hope because Jesus has brought heaven to us.

In his encouragement to Timothy, Paul reminds him to be attentive to the priorities that will result in a life that is fruitful. Like Timothy, we need that reminder so we don’t get sidetracked with things that pull us away from the life God is blessing.

The end of 1 Timothy chapter 3 reminds us that we are not merely a group of people who gather together with common beliefs, but we ARE the family of God. The encouragement we’re given is to act and sound like our Father in Heaven.

In this message Pastor Mark speaks out of 1 Timothy 4. He communicates that growing young means diminishing and mastering our self-centeredness with proper love, alignment and certainty.

In 1 Timothy chapter 3 Paul gives a list of observable qualities of potential leaders in the church. The importance for us today is that we recognize how our family, character, and our reputation are valuable gauges for how we’re influencing others.

The people that 1 Timothy speaks to where living at the heart of a female-driven cult. The Apostle Paul takes some time to instruct Timothy and the church in Ephesus regarding how to deal with this pressure and keep the attention on Jesus Christ and not become a dim reflection of the cult around them.

Continuing the series Growing Young, Andy Lovelace shares how fear of being marginalized often drives us to raise our voices in the culture. However, in this message we discover that we are actually called to live in a powerfully quiet life.

The church in Ephesus was being influenced by men who wanted a platform to showcase their self-importance. Paul’s instructions to Timothy was to shut them down because the church should showcase Jesus Christ and his significance.

In this first message of the series, Andy Lovelace introduces how we can get older but still remain immature. It’s important for our growth spiritually to grow up in Christ but stay young at heart. 1 Timothy gives us guidance in doing both.

We use transitions in life and in the seasons of the year to make changed in many areas. Andy Lovelace communicates how to implement changes in our lives that are lasting and that help us focus on things that matter most to God.
