Staying Centered in Christ

Ryan Lowery

Nehemiah 6:1-16

In Christian service, a common tactic from the enemies of God is to try to bait us into extreme reactions. But Scripture calls us to an even-keeled approach where we are centered in the truth. It is looking at the cross that helps us to avoid extremes.

Christ and Culture

Jim Leffel

1 Timothy 2:8-15

Many accuse the Bible of promoting negative cultural trends such as sexism. However, when interpreted correctly, the Bible upholds progressive and revolutionary cultural values that can form the basis for social change.

Challenges to Spiritual Leadership

Conrad Hilario

1 Timothy 4:1-16

As a relatively inexperienced and young leader, Timothy had a variety of challenges to his leadership. Paul offers six pieces of advice: 1) don't be surprised when people fall away; 2) keep the message of Christ at the center; 3) you can't lead others unless you yourself are growing; 4) stand on the authority of God's Word; 5) remember that God commissioned you; and 6) people should see where our lives are heading. Those who are able to persevere in the face of challenges are able to do incredible work for God.

Training for Godliness

Scott Risley

1 Timothy 4:1-10

Paul describes to Timothy what is needed in order to grow with God and train for Godliness. Paul talks about how it is not an easy method but you have to labor and strive for it. Though the work may take diligence, it can be joyful and fulfilling at the same time. God does not want us to live boring, joyless, or ungrateful lives, but this training is something we can do together in the body of Christ.

Breaking the Tide of Falsehood

2 Timothy 3:1-5

Paul warns Timothy about the end times and the false teaching that will infiltrate the church. He encourages Timothy to be in the Word and to avoid myths propagated by older women.

A Vision for Christian Leadership (Part 2)

Scott Risley

1 Timothy 3:1-11

Paul writes to Timothy on more qualifications of an elder. Some of these characteristics are "to have a sharp mind...and are not given to drunkenness", we look at what the Bible says about alcohol and why this is a qualification for being an elder. There are many areas that God seeks to grow in potential leaders and Paul lists out many of them throughout this chapter.

Men, Women and Leadership

1 Timothy 2:1-15

In this chapter, we look at some controversial passages regarding women in the church at Ephesus. These teachings have been twisted and used to sordid gain in the centuries since Paul wrote this. We learn how to interpret scripture with scripture and see what God's truth has to say on women in leadership, discipleship, and purpose in the body

Strategies for Men and Women in Ephesus

Dennis McCallum

Proverbs 31:16

Paul instructs Timothy on how men and women should behave within the church. Traditionally, this passage is interpreted that women cannot teach or lead meetings. Through the guiding principles of hermeneutics and learning Ephesian culture, we see that Paul is actually correcting a common false teaching that was gaining popularity. Therefore, Paul is not expressing that women should not teach or lead the church. Teaching refers frequently to Kroeger and Kroeger's book "I Suffer Not a Woman: Rethinking 1 Timothy 2:11-15 in Light of Ancient Evidence" as an important work in helping to understanding this passage.
