Blueprint for a Mature Church

A study of 1 Timothy

A Mature Church is a Praying Church | Sermon 6

May 19, 2024 • Pastor Mark Green • 1 Timothy 2:1–7

Prayer is the backbone of any good and godly church. Without prayer, the Body of Christ lacks the necessary power to accomplish anything of eternal substance. Prayer is the vehicle of communication between God and man.

A Mature Church Wages Good Warfare | Sermon 5

May 12, 2024 • Pastor Mark Green • 1 Timothy 1:18–20

War is necessary, but not necessarily good. But there is a good warfare that we need to talk about. Warfare against false teaching. Warfare for the faith. Warfare for a good conscience.

A Mature Church Understands Why Jesus Came | Sermon 4

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Mark Green • 1 Timothy 1:12–17

Have you ever thought about what your life shows to those around you about Jesus? Does your story reflect His mercy and grace? Paul’s life certainly did. 

A Mature Church Uses the Law Well | Sermon 3

April 28, 2024 • Pastor Mark Green • 1 Timothy 1:8–11

For the believer, what is the point of the law? Certainly the principles in God’s Law will lead us as followers of Christ to holy living. But there is another use for God’s law that is quite relevant for today.

A Mature Church is Careful of False Teachers | Sermon 2

April 21, 2024 • Pastor Mark Green • 1 Timothy 1:3–7

Pastor Mark Green preaches from 1 Timothy 1:3-7. When it comes to confronting problems, like false teachers, it must be dealt with in Truth and Love.

A Mature Church Reproduces | Sermon 1

April 14, 2024 • Pastor Mark Green • 1 Timothy 1:1–2

Why is there an epidemic of dying churches in the USA? Churches are passionately avoiding doing church the way the Bible tells them to do church. If churches would stop doing gimmicky, programmatic, entertainment driven, kitschy ways of ministry and start doing what Paul lays out in this letter, I believe the church of Jesus Christ would thrive in the American church and make the impact she was designed to make. She would be the salt and light God intender her to be.
