This is the second sermon on the first letter of Paul to Timothy. Paul is writing to Timothy in Ephesus where there are problems with the church there because it was not guarding the gospel of Jesus against the chatter and talk among the people. As Christians, our main purpose, our charge, is to guard the gospel. We don't do this by shutting it up or speaking it in Greek or Christian terms. We do it by making it the center of our lives.

This is the first sermon in a new series Pastor Chris Garrison is preaching on the Epistle from the Apostle Paul to Timothy. In 1 Timothy 1:1-2 we learn the context of the relationship between Paul and Timothy. Paul is commending Timothy as he is being sent out to spread the gospel. This is a book of the Bible that matters today. We, as Christians, are saved to serve. 1 Timothy tells us how to be a healthy church that is continually being shaped into the image of God in order to serve each other.

Pastor Chris Garrison finishes the sermon series on Nehemiah. In Nehemiah 13 we see that just when it seemed like Jerusalem was coming together, Nehemiah returns it find it falling apart. He found the people demonstration failures in many of the areas he set in place. But unlike Jerusalem, we don't need a temple, or a wall, or a select group of people. We need something bigger. Clinging to the cross if the only way to conquer our failure and turn it into and opportunity to move forward.

Pastor Chris Garrison continues teaching from the Book of Nehemiah. In Nehemiah 10:38-39 we find that there are patterns, or rhythms, to the required sacrificial rituals of the people in Jerusalem. Is your life of worship a dirge of duty, or is it a dance of devotion? When we respond to the rhythm of God's faithful work, He can change the rhythms in our life: our relationships, our finances, our worship.

Pastor Chris Garrison begins the Advent season with the first sermon in his series, The Gifts of Christmas. This first Sunday of Advent is the Sunday of HOPE. In Luke 2:8-16 we find the shepherds engaged in a "treasure hunt," leading them to the greatest gift anyone could ever receive. Their terror of the dark night soon turned to expectancy, and their hope ignited their search for Jesus, the perfect gift of light. You, too can have hope of finding Jesus, even if you have been lost in darkness.

You were made to revere something. What amazes you? What astounds you? What puts you in a state of awe? Pastor Chris Garrison is preaching from Nehemiah 5:14-19 where Nehemiah shares what became the heart of his reverence as he sought after his desires as a leader. He shows us that the heart of all reverence is to make God your reference.
