Pastor Jeff Manion continues our Rekindle sermon series with Paul's challenge to boldly guard and proclaim the transformative gospel message, even when Christianity faces increasing cultural opposition. We are encouraged by the apostle Paul's call to Timothy not to be ashamed of the gospel or of suffering for Christ. We discover the profound significance of the gospel—as a message of rescue, grace, and eternal life—that is worth clinging to despite social pressure.

Influences

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our Rekindle sermon series by examining the powerful influences that shape our lives. We are challenged to anchor ourselves in the transformative power of the gospel rather than living as "lovers of self" and destructive influences. We see the vital impact of spiritual mentors who model a gospel-centered life and the foundational influence of families grounding children in the Scripture. Ultimately, we are called to embrace gospel-rooted identities while intentionally pouring into the next generation as disciples who make disciples.
Against the Flow

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our Rekindle sermon series by exploring the challenge of going against the flow. Through Paul's letter to Timothy, we are called to correctly handle the truth of Scripture and pursue holiness by fleeing temptation and surrounding ourselves with others who share our commitment to Christ. We recognize the high stakes of remaining faithful amidst cultural pressures and are inspired to embrace the roles of diligent worker and purified vessel that God can use for His eternal purposes.
Soldier, Athlete, Farmer

We recognize the high stakes of multiplying faithful disciple-makers and competing according to God's guidelines. Ultimately, we are inspired to trust that our sacrificial efforts will reap an eternal harvest.
