The church was beautifully designed by God to be a safety net for us. In the church, we find family and family takes care of family. Text: 1 Timothy 5:1-16 Title: The Safety Net Series: Church Matters (1 Timothy) Pastor Mike Rue For more information, visit us online at www.emmanuelmora.com

Today we are facing a situation in which many churches are falling prey to contemporary cultural and political ideologies and stamping a Jesus sticker on it and claiming to be faithful. And because the church is typically associated with general goodness and truth-telling, many well-meaning people are falling hook, line, and sinker into destructive worldviews that, instead of saving them, will, in reality, send them to hell. And in our passage, Paul warns Timothy that not only is the substance of the false teachings distributed among the flock at Ephesus flat out wrong, but they are also actually demonic in their source. That sounds about as shocking today as it did back then. But, as we look at this passage today, we are going to find that false teaching isn’t a tacky preference for people wanting their ears tickled, it is a deadly poison that must be called out and recalibrated. Join us as we look into 1 Timothy 4:1-5

Two of the most important offices in the church are that of the elder and that of the deacon. In the previous message, we explored the significance of biblical elders. https://youtu.be/m2UJfAddP94 In this message, we examine what deacons are and how they contribute to God's plan for the church.

We are to fight for the gospel. But how are we supposed to do that? In this passage, Paul helps us to see the beauty of the gospel in the struggle against false teaching.

When we say "yes" to Christ, we are not just signing up for selective service. We are enlisting. Whether we know it or not, we are in a battle for the hearts of those in our church as well as our own hearts. Join us as we look into Paul's encouragement to Timothy to fight for the gospel and what it means for us today.

1 Timothy 1:18-20 | Fight for the Gospel

At first glance, 1 Timothy 1:12-17 seems out of place in the context of Paul's argument. However, when we drink deeply from the words that Paul penned, we not only see it as a continuation of his encouragement to Timothy, but we find the words of life.

1 Timothy 1:12-17 | Celebrate the Gospel

As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have been entrusted with the gospel, the good news, of Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and ascension. Because we are stewards of that truth, we must be diligent to guard it, but in a spirit of love. In this message, we look at what that means and how we can live it out. Message: "Entrusted with the Gospel" Text: 1 Timothy 1:3-11 Series: Church Matters

1 Timothy 1:3-11 | Entrusted with the Gospel

God the Father gave us the solution to our problem with sin: Jesus Christ's life, death, resurrection, and ascension. God gave us the church to be the vehicle by which that good news is delivered. Churches, however, can run into problems. How are churches to rebound. One way is to drink deeply from 1 Timothy 1:1-2. Message date: August 1, 2021 Pastor Mike Rue Emmanuel Baptist Church Mora, MN
