1 Timothy 4:1-5 A Clear Warning

Join us as we continue to explore 1 Timothy. This week we focus on 1 Timothy 4:1-5, and here a clear warning for all believers in Jesus Christ. Pastor Chris helps us to see that in order to avoid falling away from Christ, we need to fall towards Him through an attitude of trust and a perspective of thankfulness toward God.

1 Timothy 3:19 Great is the Mystery

Pastor Chris Garrison continues his sermon series from 1 Timothy. 1 Timothy 3:19 show us how Jesus revealed the mysteries of true Godliness. God wants you to find and know the best in your life. He wants you to know him and grow in him. Your heart was made to know him, and it needs to know his greatness. There is no one like our God!

The Power of the Resurrection

The Easter message continues this week as Pastor Chris Garrison preaches from Philippians 3:10-11. God doesn't want us to be stuck with the hurtful things in life. His infinite love can reach even into our brokenness. We are called to know the power of the resurrection -- the power of salvation -- in order to more intimately know Jesus.

EASTER -- Luke 24: 13-25 The Lord has risen!

On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Chris Garrison takes us to the road to Emmaus, Luke 24:13-35. Hope was filling the lives of Jesus' followers, and then when he was crucified they were devastated. They had lost hope. As travelers with Jesus, we don't always recognize Him in the brokenness of our lives. Are you hopeless and lost? Jesus will reveal himself to you...and you will never be the same! The Lord has risen, indeed!

Matthew 21:12-17 Pomp and Circumstances

Matthew 21:12-17 is the account of Jesus' triumphant ride into Jerusalem -- Palm Sunday. Pastor Chris Garrison asks, "Have you ever gotten stuck in your life?" Often we need to stop and ask for help. Jerusalem was stuck in their religion. Jesus came to show them a way out. Sometimes our idea of what is right clashes with Jesus' idea if what is right.  Jesus wants to wreck our "religion" in order to call us to true religion.

1 Timothy 3:8-13 How over What

1 Timothy 3:8-13 teaches us about deacons. A deacon is someone called to specific service in the church.  Interestingly, the passage does not point out what deacons are to do, but describes how they are to go about doing it. Pastor Chris Garrison calls us to live like servants, just as Jesus did and to remember that how we live is more important than what we are doing.

1 Timothy 3:4-7 A Noble Task

1 Timothy 3:4-7 addresses those who are leaders in the church. What does leadership in a church look like?  Pastor Chris Garrison shows how Paul describes the character and life of those shepherding  the church; a life that is distinguished by righteous activity and attitudes. We are to recognize that not only the elders, but all of us need to live lives that point to Christ in all things.

1 Timothy 2:1-6 Jesus Christ, Savior of ALL

In 1 Timothy 2:1-6 Paul tells us that Jesus wants all people to be saved. His purpose calls us to gain a love and passion for the perishing. He is faithful in shaping the church to be like Him.

1 Timothy 2:11-15 Distinctively Designed

Pastor Chris Garrison continues the series from 2 Timothy with the culturally charged issue of gender roles in the church. God created us male and female in order to complement each other. We are distinctively designed to glorify God.r to glorify Him. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 addresses a problem in the church in Ephesus surrounding the women's attitudes. Paul talks about an attitude of quiet that is necessary in order to take in the truth that will cause true spiritual formation. This call to have an attitude toward learning applies to all in the church, male and female. The lesson to learn is this: be Godly, pursue the Lord, find your value in Christ.
