Timothy
I Timothy 1:1-2
Sunday Morning
Pastor Greg Isom

"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope, To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
I Timothy 1:1-2

Right off the bat, as we did earlier, Paul reaffirms to all readers the authority in which he is writing as one called "of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ." This is not his job, but his lifelong calling to be an instrument of righteousness in the hands of God to build the Lord's church and kingdom. He then after mentioning Jesus, refers to Him as "our hope." Paul and Timothy have been brought together in that they both believe Jesus is the Christ the Son of the Living God in whom we have hope of His guidance, protection and a brighter future which gives us a purpose as we follow Him wherever He leads us. This was their common denominator as it is ours here within our fellowship. We gather here each time in that same hope in the promises given to us through Jesus our Lord and Savior. We have all been brought together in this life for a purpose that God has called us to. We need to embrace that hope and allow it to motivate us to do all that we do for the Lord. Paul told the Roman church that there is a process we go through to attain that hope.

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
Romans 5:1-5

This hope Paul, Timothy, and each of us share has come to us through our journey through life. Through our confession of belief, we have been justified by our faith, given peace, and entered into grace. Our trials and tribulations led to us building up our perseverance, which led to us building our character and that led us to attaining hope in our Lord. A hope built in that manner does not disappoint, but will be fulfilled one day when our faith becomes sight.

Today we see the words of Paul are the commands of the Lord. We see the importance of character in our lives as we examined what we know about Timothy. We see the process in which we must go through to attain hope in Jesus that does not disappoint us and binds us together as a family.

Galatians 2
Sunday Evening
Bro. Sam Pemberton

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.'" And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him."
John 1:14-18
