    Episode 501: 1 Timothy 6 Part 2 Stay With the Herd!
    Oct 31 2025
    Did you ever watch Animal Planet or one of those animal videos that show a lion or some type of predator watching a herd of animals just waiting for one to leave the herd? The predator literally lays in wait just biding time until one of those unsuspecting animals walks away from the herd just enough to be vulnerable, and as soon as they get away from the protection of the herd, the predator attacks. This is what Paul is warning Timothy about and he tells him, “Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you.”

  • Episode 500: 1 Timothy 6 Part 1 Godliness and Contentment Equals Wealth

    Episode 500: 1 Timothy 6 Part 1 Godliness and Contentment Equals Wealth
    Oct 28 2025
    THIS IS OUR 500TH EPISODE!!!! Paul tells Timothy these false teachers have come in and wreaked havoc on the church ion Ephesus. He leaves Timothy there to help get things get back on track and in chapter 6, Paul is going to finalize his instructions. In them he says these false teachers have one main motive—money. They want to get rich and Peter says something similar in his letters to the church. Paul says real wealth comes from two things: godliness and contentment. How do we get those two things? By trusting God to meet our needs...

    Episode 499: 1 Timothy 5 Part 2 Who Is Responsible For the Widows (New Testament)
    Oct 24 2025
    Paul leaves Timothy behind in Ephesus to help a struggling church get back on track. One of the many issues is widows. Who is supposed to be taking care of the widows and what constitutes a widow that can be helped? Are their stipulations? What does Paul have to say about the younger widows? What about the widow who decides she isn’t going to be devoted to God and just wants to liver her life the way she sees fit? We dive into all of this and more in this podcast!

    Episode 498: 1 Timothy 5 Part 1 Is It the Church’s Responsibility to Take Care of Widows?
    Oct 21 2025
    In today’s podcast, we start to cover 1 Timothy 5 where Paul is writing Timothy to give him instructions for the church in Ephesus. In chapter 5, Paul deals with widows and how they are to be taken care of. Is it the church’s responsibility to take care of widows? We go back to the Old Testament and see what God had to say about widows back then and the laws He gave to the people through Moses and some examples of how God used widows to usher in the Messiah!

  • Episode 497: 1 Timothy 4 Part 4 Stirring Up Spiritual Gifts

    Episode 497: 1 Timothy 4 Part 4 Stirring Up Spiritual Gifts
    Oct 17 2025
    I was taught spiritual gifts could only be passed to others by the apostles and when the apostles died, so did the spiritual gifts. This is clearly false because Paul tells Timothy to use the spiritual gift that was given him when the elders at the church in Ephesus laid their hands on him! He will tell him again in his second letter to Timothy to fan into flames the spiritual gift given to him when Paul laid his hands on Timothy. This tells me Timothy was not using his spiritual gifts as he should. Why not? What was his problem? Fear...in particular, fear of man. Because Timothy was so young, the older believers, even false teachers, would intimidate him by perhaps challenging his teaching and he would clam up instead of being bold. It is not time to be timid, but bold for Jesus and the truth! God, stir the gifts within us so people will see you working in us!

  • Episode 496: 1 Timothy 4 Part 3 Are You Nourished By Demons or Jesus?

    Episode 496: 1 Timothy 4 Part 3 Are You Nourished By Demons or Jesus?
    Oct 14 2025
    The early church didn’t have multiple copies of the bible to pick up and read but they did have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, as Jesus said in John 14, leads to all truth. In other words, the Holy Spirit comes from God, who is truth, and therefore will lead us in truth. Jesus said he is the truth in John 14:6. Some people in the church at Ephesus were following truth but at some point, they quit and started following demons. Paul is writing to Timothy, a young man, to stay in Ephesus and fight the enemy that is teaching false doctrine that comes from demons and is leading people away from the truth, away from Jesus. He tells Timothy that of he teaches the church the truth, he will be nourished by his faith and his teaching, which is all about Jesus. Who do you receive your nourishment from? The truth? Or false doctrines taught by demons? Does what you learn and teach line up with the truth of God’s word? If not, you’re being fed lies by demons and it is leading you away from Jesus!
