Spiritual Fitness: Training Not Trying - 1 Timothy 4:1-16 | Lilac City Church

In this message from 1 Timothy 4:1-16, Pastor Brolin unpacks the Apostle Paul's call to his young protégé Timothy: pursue spiritual fitness through training, not trying. Trying is hoping for change without the commitment. Training is pursuing transformation through total dedication. Discover four essential aspects of spiritual training: Train on truth (not lies), train for what lasts (godliness over temporary pursuits), train with what you've been given (use your unique gifts), and train consistently (persevere for yourself and others). Whether you're exhausted from trying or ready to stop performing and start growing, this message will show you how to pursue godliness rooted in the grace of Jesus—not to earn God's approval, but because you already have it in Christ."
