Join us as we explore what was actually finished on that Holy Weekend long ago. This sermon was originally preached on April 5, 2026.

1 Timothy 5:1-16

Paul writes his letter to Timothy while Timothy is helping to lead the Ephesian church. They lived in a city where they constantly heard the chant "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" Paul offers the chant that Christians should hold dear instead in verse 16. How can we have a healthy church? By knowing the right chant.

What do Deacons have to do with being a healthy church?

Step 6: Shepherds for the Flock

How can we build a healthy church? Paul's letters to Timothy give us a Blueprint for a Healthy Church. Step 5: Learn from the Garden (2:8–15)A healthy church flourishes when men and women joyfully embrace God’s good design, trusting that His ordered roles are not restrictive but life-giving.Step 1: Trust God's Authority | Guard the Gospel (1:1-7)Everything rises or falls on this. The church does not invent doctrine; it receives, protects, and passes it on. Tolerating false teaching is pastoral malpractice, not kindness. Step 2: The Law Serves the Gospel (1:8-11)The law exposes sin so sinners see their need for Christ. Any use of the law that replaces Christ or softens sin betrays the gospel.Step 3: Always Remember God’s Grace (1:12–20)A healthy church is sustained by grace remembered. When Christians forget the mercy that saved them, they grow harsh with one another, careless with the gospel, and brittle in obedience. Remembered grace humbles us, keeps Christ central, strengthens faithful endurance, and guards the church from slow, quiet ruin.Step 4: Pray, Pray, Pray (2:1-7)The church’s first and constant work is prayer. A church with narrow prayers will never know the fullness of being a healthy church.
