We should always aim to be generous and effective. 1 Timothy 5 tells us how we can create an environment that invites God to get to work on us: to make us into the individuals, and the family He created us to be.

At Southside, we know that the ultimate church is filled with only two kinds of people: those who are all-in for Jesus and those who are all-out (because they haven’t met Him yet!) There is no one as miserable as a lukewarm Christian and we will do whatever necessary to never be a lukewarm church.

What are your goals? If you were honest, are you really working toward them? Let’s tell the truth to ourselves and about God, and see how truth transforms our lives.

1 Timothy 3 says that if anyone wants to be a leader… “good”! Wanting to be a leader doesn’t mean that you need to be perfect: real leadership is saying ‘follow me as I follow Jesus’. It’s an invitation to everyone and it’s a really really good one.

Someone, somewhere is following your lead. If we are all leaders, what does God have to say about leadership? Let’s talk about what influence means when you bring it to the church.

"1 Timothy 2 could be considered one of the most controversial passages in the entire Bible. What does Jesus actually show us about women: in the family, in society and in the church? And what does that mean for men?"

“You can’t out-dark the Light of the World. Whatever dark spots are in your life, Jesus shatters them as the light”

The very act of praying makes this statement: I need you.

“It wasn’t safe, cool or easy. But Timothy looked at Paul and saw a man who was changing the world"

“God doesn’t care if you had a devastating comeback to that insult, if you look good in those jeans or if the people at the gym think you’re cool”
