Esther Recap: From Exile to Exaltation | Esther 9:29-10:3

Is there anyone in your life that’s a spiritual mentor? If so, what is it that draws you to them & enables you to trust them? How have they influenced your life? Today, we read the opening words of a letter from the apostle Paul to his young protégé Timothy. As we unpack this text, note the two things that mark the life of a godly mentor and ask yourself-could I be that to someone else? Am I willing to open my life up so that someone else could be this for me?

Marks of a Godly Mentor | 2 Timothy 1:1-7

Every day, we take risks based on what we value. Reflect on how you allocate your time, money, and resources. We do the same thing with our faith. What are you willing to risk for your faith to be known? Your reputation, status, sense of safety, or even your financial well-being. In today’s text, Paul continues to challenge young Timothy to take risks for his faith because the gospel is worth it. Let’s open God’s word and see WHY the gospel is worth living out today!

The Gospel is Worth It! | 2 Timothy 1:8-18

Strengthened to Endure | 2 Timothy 2:1-13

We live in a day where endless information is at our fingertips, but trusted sources are in short supply. It’s often difficult to discern truth from error, even in the church. Today, Paul contrasts marks of the faithful teacher of God’s Word from false teachers. Let’s open God’s Word and glean discernment on distinguishing truth from error!

On July 4th we shoot off fireworks, gather for parties and parades to celebrate our country’s founding,  and essentially, our freedom. Freedom takes on many forms and is defined in very different ways. What does Jesus say about the type of freedom we need most? Let’s learn from God’s Word!

Let Freedom Ring! | John 8:31-38

We live in a world of information overload. Knowledge is at the tip of our fingertips, but
it's often hard to discern truth from error. This reality in our world today creates a ripe
environment for people to be&quot; led astray by every wind of doctrine,&quot; as Paul says in
Ephesians 4:14. So, how do we recognize a fake from a faithful teacher of God's Word?
Let's look at some tell-tell signs from God's Word this morning!

What makes for a life well-lived? As you get older, do you ever consider the legacy that you are leaving? As Paul closes out his letter to Timothy, he gives us a “blueprint” of what it looks like for a Christ-follower to live & die with purpose and direction. Let’s learn from the example of Paul and God’s inspired word this morning!
