1 Timothy 6:1-2 - Committed to Christlike Service

November 17, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 6:1–2

We are worshippers inside the church, and witnesses outside of the church. What are the values that drive our behavior in our dealings outside of Sunday morning? In what seems to be a very culturally-bound passage, we learn an important lesson about excellence, diligence, and faithfulness in our daily work and service. Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Matt Horne

1 Timothy 5:17-25 - Committed to Authority

November 10, 2024 • Kevin Degnan • 1 Timothy 5:17–25

Some church structures have a wide-gapped hierarchy where the congregants and the leaders have no engagement with one another, but that is not how God designed it to be. Instead, the leaders of a local church should have relationships within their congregation, be taken care of by their congregation, and be held accountable by their congregation.

1 Timothy 5:1-16 - Committed to Each Other

November 3, 2024 • Pastor Jon Moore • 1 Timothy 5:1–16

The church is often referred to as a “family,” and the central element of a family is mutual care. Christian believers should always seek to take care of their own, in how we speak to one another, as well as how we provide for those in need. Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Jon Moore

1 Timothy 4:6-16 - Committed to Godliness

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 4:6–16

Other people’s perception of us is certainly not the most important thing, but it is somewhat important. This is primarily because the way we carry ourselves says something about what we believe about God, but also, because a good and godly example is more likely to persuade others to join us in believing. In our scripture, there are five specific areas that we can practice godly character. Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Matt Horne

1 Timothy 3:14 - 4:5 - Committed to Sound Doctrine

October 20, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 3:14–16, 1 Timothy 4:1–5

Every single day, there are Christians who are led astray by cultural ideologies and new teachings. It isn’t always due to persuasive celebrities or cult leaders. Sometimes it’s your best friend or coworker. Consider two questions then: What are the fundamental truths we believe? Why do we believe these truths? Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Matt Horne

Can Women Teach The Bible? - 1 Timothy Deep Dive

October 16, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 2:8–15

Pastor Matt Horne seeks to answer the question “Can women teach the bible?” using the C.I.A. method of biblical interpretation.

1 Timothy 3:1-13 - Committed to Respectable Leadership

October 13, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 3:1–13

Every group needs a leader. In the church, there should be several. Biblical church leadership is described as a plurality of people serving two distinct roles within the body. However, as the skepticism against church leadership increases by the day, it’s direly important that we look at the standards placed on us by God Himself.

1 Timothy 2:8-15 - Committed to Mutual Submission

October 6, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 2:8–15

Throughout church history, several passages from the Bible have been used and abused for selfish gain. This is one of those passages, however; there can be beauty and goodness in its application when rightly understood. How can men and women work together in the church in their respective roles to the glory of God? Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Matt Horne

1 Timothy 2:1-7 - Committed to Prayer

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 2:1–7

Prayer is the driving force of the church, but not only for particular needs or people. God instructs the church to pray for all people, no matter their position in life, society, or the church. Why? So that those who pray and those who have been prayed for might be saved in the truth. Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Matt Horne

1 Timothy 1:18-20 - Committed to Accountability

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 1:18–20

The secular world longs to see the church have more accountability. Unfortunately, most churches do not practice any kind of accountability. As a community of people who profess belief in the gospel, we must consider what the scriptures say about the process, motivations, and consequences of biblical accountability. Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Matt Horne

1 Timothy 1:1-17 - Committed to the Gospel

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • 1 Timothy 1:1–17

The foundation of the church is the Gospel, or Good News, of Jesus Christ. It’s the message we preach and the very reason the church exists at all. The modern church has lost its hope in the simplicity of the gospel, but we know that we have nothing more important to say than this: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Series - The Faithful Church // Pastor - Matt Horne

James 5:13-18 - The Power of Communal Prayer

September 8, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • James 5:13–18

Prayer is a powerful weapon, not only in our own faith, but in the life of the church. James encourages the church to pray with faith and fervency and reveals several ways that this kind of prayer will affect the larger congregation. Do we have the faith to believe that God answers prayer? Do we have the compassion for other believers around us to pray for them? // Series - Faith That Works! // Pastor - Matt Horne

James 5:1-6 - Riches That Rust

September 1, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • James 5:1–6

The rich are poor when they are rich without God. James gives a firm warning to those who are possessed by their possessions. It is especially aimed at those individuals who are stingy and malicious with their wealth. Either way, we can all learn something from James about how to use money in a good and godly way. // Series - Faith That Works! // Pastor - Matt Horne

Psalms 133 - Like a Good Mountain Dew

August 25, 2024 • Pastor Matt Horne • Psalm 133, Acts 2:42

The Christian life is not a solo journey. God has designed us to live in intimate community with other believers. That's where blessing and spiritual growth come. Tune in to hear more about how our church intends to cultivate that kind of community. // Stand Alone Sermon // Pastor - Matt Horne

James 5:7-12 - Waiting Well

August 18, 2024 • Pastor Jon Moore • James 5:7–12

Let’s face it… we all grow impatient sometimes. Occasionally, we grow impatient with the Lord. Many days, we are impatient with other people. As we struggle through life and faith, how can we wait well? James tells us long suffering comes easier when we know we won’t be suffering long. // Series - Faith That Works! // Pastor - Jon Moore
