1 Timothy 6:5

False Teachers

We often discuss outside threats to the church, but Paul, particularly in 1 Timothy 6:2-5, emphasizes the need to look for false teachers who may infiltrate the congregation. These false teachers can be sniffed out by how they add or subtract from the words of Christ, their character, and their desire for personal gain. May 10, 2026

Non-Approved, Approved

Guest Pastor Bruce Chimani from Old North Church shared the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch’s conversion from Acts 8:26-40. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Chimani showed how God drives the Gospel past every barrier to welcome those deemed unacceptable by others into His people. May 3, 2026

Building the Church in a Strategic Place

Cleveland is a hub for many major universities, hospitals, and other major Northeast Ohio institutions, and so many members of Parkside Heights often leave after a few years. Paul experienced a similar sort of scattering in his ministry. Acts 17:1-9 reminds us of the benefits that come with living in a strategically-placed city, like Cleveland, where we are to help build up the Church through thoughtful engagement with the Gospel and the sending of Christians into other parts of the world.April 26, 2026

While at Work

Every week, each of us has to enter into our various workplaces, but what does it mean to serve and honor God in our jobs? As mentioned in 1 Timothy 6:1-2, we must remember that, no matter the work environment–non-Christian or Christian–we are representatives of Christ who should consider those we work for worthy of honor and strive to lead people to Christ through our conduct.
