Preachers, Apostles, and Prayer

1 Timothy 2:7

January 28, 2001 • Dr. Jack Hughes

In this sermon, Pastor Jack helps us see why Paul writes as he does to Timothy. Paul reminds all that he was appointed to preach with authority, that he was sent by God, and he was diligent to not only preach and proclaim the gospel of God, but also to teach it publicly, and from house to house. By mentioning his qualifications, Paul puts an authoritative stamp on what he has been saying and what he is about to say concerning men and women in the church. His message comes to them—and us—from God.

A True Child in the Faith

October 1, 2000 • Dr. Jack Hughes

In this sermon, Pastor Jack begins our study in Timothy by looking at Paul’s greeting. We’ll learn that God speaks to us through the apostles who wrote the Bible, that Timothy is a model for us to follow, and learn of a special blessing.

Keeping Error Out of the Church

October 8, 2000 • Dr. Jack Hughes

Ever since the church was born at Pentecost, 2000 years ago, it has had to fight many Battles over the truth. God gave us His divine revelation in the Bible, and ever since, the church has had to fight to retain the standard of sound words. Satan has unceasingly introduced destructive heresies into the church to corrupt the bride of Christ, to lead people astray, to steal glory from God, and to damn people to hell. In this sermon, we’ll learn why we need to keep watch and be on guard for the truth, so we won’t be led astray by false teaching.

How to Spot False Teachers

October 15, 2000 • Dr. Jack Hughes

In this sermon, we see learn how to spot false teachers. By contrasting the goal of true biblical teaching with false doctrines, Paul equips us to spot and identify false teachers more readily. We know that if we want to learn how to spot counterfeit money, we study genuine bills. In the same way, if we want to learn how to spot false teachers, we study the Scriptures.
