Sincere Faith: Like A Family (1 Timothy 5)

On May 17 at River Corner Church, Pastor Jeff McLain explores 1 Timothy 5 and what it means for the church to become an alternative family in a lonely world.This week's teaching centers on sincere faith lived out in ordinary life — following Jesus through community, simplicity, integrity, hospitality, prayer, and everyday faithfulness. Jeff's preaching combines biblical teaching with pastoral reflection, often exploring how the gospel reshapes relationships, leadership, family, and the rhythms of daily life in a culture marked by noise, loneliness, distraction, and performance.In addition to pastoral ministry, Jeff writes and speaks on spiritual formation, quiet living, mission, and the practical implications of Jesus' teachings for modern discipleship. His work is shaped both by local church ministry and years of walking alongside people experiencing homelessness, addiction, hardship, and spiritual searching.About River Corner ChurchRiver Corner Church is a simple community of Jesus followers seeking to practice the way of Jesus together in everyday life.
