season 06 | 03.06 | 1 timothy: the worthy laborer
This message concludes our study of the book of 1 Timothy! In this final chapter, Paul clarifies our focus. He calls us to fight the good fight of faith. He challenges us to remember our fight is not against one another or against culture or anything else, but to pursue righteousness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness above all else.
season 06 | 03.05 | 1 timothy: reimagining family & fatherhood
In celebration of Father's Day, join us for a conversation about Jesus' vision for family, the way he redefines it and broadens our definition. The beauty of the church is that we get to embody these roles not just for our biological families but for one another. We gain spiritual mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters in our belonging to God and to each other.
season 06 | 03.04 | 1 timothy: accountability for spiritual leaders
The church is facing an accountability crisis. We are all too familiar with headlines featuring the failures of faith leaders and many of us carry our own personal stories of pain and spiritual trauma. We know accountability is crucial for developing trust, but what does it look like in real life and in our churches? We begin with Paul's words to Timothy in this letter and what it looks like for us here at Kindred.
season 06 | 03.03 | 1 timothy: the perfect church leader
Leadership matters because of what it does to us and the way it influences our own trust in God. This week we explore Paul's qualifications for church leadership and how we should thoughtfully interpret this highly contested list. Jesus is bigger and better than the institutions that represent him, though together we ask ourselves what it looks like for each of us to aspire to Christ-likeness for the sake of those who follow us.
season 06 | 03.02 | 1 timothy: women in leadership
Does Scripture really say women shouldn't teach or hold positions of authority? How do we interpret Paul's instructions here in light of the Biblical precedent for women in leadership across the Old & New Testaments? Together we explore the hidden context behind this passage and the implications for women in leadership today.
season 06 | 03.01 |1 timothy: a pure heart & Sincere faith
In this introduction to 1 Timothy we explore a few of the subtle distortions to the Christian faith the people of Paul's day were in danger of believing and how they are still relevant for us today. Masterfully peeling away all the layers of nonsense built up around Jesus, Paul clarifies us how simple and pure the good news really is: we are no better than anyone else, and Jesus is patient with us as we heal and learn to receive his love.
