One God One Mediator for a Hostile World – 1 Timothy 2:5-8

> In this week's message from 1 Timothy 2, we confront the relativism and tribalism of our modern age with the power of the Gospel. There is only one God and one mediator, Jesus Christ.

The Will of God, The Will of Man, The Will of Christ, and Worship – 1 Timothy 2:1-8

> In this message on 1 Timothy 2, we explore the priority of corporate prayer and the importance of praying for the salvation of all people. By contrasting God's sovereign and desired will with the self-serving will of man, we are challenged to ensure the worship practices of the church are grounded entirely in scripture rather than human preference. True congregational unity is found not in accommodating cultural trends, but in keeping our focus fixed entirely on Jesus Christ, our perfect mediator. ---------------------------------------- Read or follow along with the full transcript on our site.

The Triumph of God’s Abounding Grace – 1 Timothy 1:12-17

> In this exposition of 1 Timothy 1, we explore the Apostle Paul's testimony of his transformation from a violent persecutor to a recipient of God's super-abounding grace. This is a powerful contrast demonstrating unmerited mercy against the legalistic, merit-based teachings of Ephesian heretics. Jesus Christ came into the world not to reward the righteous, but to save even the worst of sinners. ---------------------------------------- Read or follow along with the full transcript on our site.
