  • The Battles Chosen Series

     | 4,281 views

    Message four in this exposition of First Timothy describes the gnostic error in the early church that was distorting the New Testament faith. Preaching against them our purposes are to purify the faith and to lead false teachers to Christ

    Message 4 THE BATTLES CHOSEN B. The Faith Protected “Command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer.” (1:3) “Fight the good fight, holding on to faith”(18,19). Paul uses strong words. He doesn’t tell Timothy to suggest that false teachers stop, ...read more

     | 4,883 views

    The early Christians devoted themselves to: 1. The Apostle’s teaching - learning. 2. The Fellowship - worship. 3. Breaking Bread - friendship. 4. Prayer

    This description of the early church is truly amazing. Something had happened to these otherwise ordinary people. The people who were a part of this church no longer thought of themselves — their own rights and possessions — their whole identity was a group identity. They found their meaning ...read more

    Ever since the early church, there have been schemes and promotions to produce unity in the church. But, divisions continue. The only medicine to heal the wounds of disunity and discord is found in this text of Scripture.

    UNITY OF THE SPIRIT TEXT: Eph 4:1-3 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the ...read more

     | 11,225 views

    The truth is, sometimes committed Christians stumble and fall into sin. The Bible reads like a Who’s Who of spiritual failures. Abraham was a liar; Moses was a murderer; David committed adultery and murder; Peter denied the Lord three times.
