In every relationship, there are expectations on both sides. In setting the qualifications for leaders in the church, Paul described what the church needs from it's leaders. Here in the end of chapter 5, Paul lists out what leaders need from the church.

In what some consider one of the most controversial passages in the Bible, Paul lays out the high calling for both men and women. Men and women are created equal, in God's image, yet they were created different. Listen as we learn about gender in the church.

One of the greatest honors God has given us as humans is the opportunity to pray. How amazing is it that God loves us enough and cares enough about us to listen to the details of our lives and that He intervenes in our lives! With the call on the church to be a people of prayer, join us as we hear who it is we are to be praying for, and what specifically we are to be praying about.

Anytime you hear the word "Shipwreck", it's always a terrible thing. Paul is gonna tell two testimonies in this passage-of two guys who shipwrecked their faith, and his own testimony of his strong and healthy faith. Listen as we glean from Paul's testimony so we can grow a strong and healthy faith and avoid shipwrecking our own faith.

In the face of intense opposition, when hard decisions and hard lines must be drawn, sometimes it's just easier to run. Paul's charge to Timothy is to stay, to stand firm, to draw those lines. Listen as we hear Paul's charge to Timothy to stand firm and fight against false doctrine and false teachers because ultimately- truth really does matter.

As we begin this new study in 1st Timothy-listen as we determine who the main players are, the circumstances and purpose for this letter, and hear the charge that Paul writes for Timothy, as well as for all of us.

The apostle Paul, the greatest missionary who ever lived, wrote Philippians while sitting in jail. Yet despite the circumstances around him, He could look forward to what was in front of him and could encourage his friends in Philippi to look forward as well. Listen as we learn from Paul on how we can look forward to what God's going to do in our church and in our lives in the coming year.
