“No Days Off” by Sam Fleury

In “No Days Off,” Sam Fleury teaches from 1 Timothy 4:6–16 that spiritual growth requires intentional training. What we consume forms us, our disciplines shape us, and godliness affects every area of life. Through the imagery of training, stretching, lifting, and running, Sam challenges us to feed our souls with truth, follow Jesus with discipline, develop visible spiritual fruit, and use the life and grace God has given us to influence and invest in others.

“The Mystery of Leadership” by Caleb Cole

In “The Mystery of Leadership,” Caleb Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 3:8–16 about the character behind healthy leadership. From integrity and self control to earned trust, faithfulness at home, and serving others, Paul’s instructions to Timothy challenge every follower of Jesus to become the same person in public and in private. Ultimately, healthy leadership matters because the church has been entrusted with carrying and representing the good news of Jesus.

“Leaders You Can Trust” by Chrissy Cole

What makes a spiritual leader trustworthy? Through 1 Timothy 3:1 through 7, Chrissy Cole examines biblical leadership and the character God desires in those who lead.

Teaching from 1 Timothy 2:8–15, Caleb Cole examines Paul’s controversial instructions concerning women, teaching, submission, and authority.

"Living Aware of God’s Presence" by Ryan Moore

Teaching from 1 Timothy 2:1–8, Ryan Moore explains that prayer is learning to live with a continual awareness that God is present and available. Prayer reshapes what matters to us, gives us access to God through Jesus rather than our own achievement, and changes our hearts before it changes our circumstances.

“Make it Personal” by Chrissy Cole

Teaching from 1 Timothy 1:12–20, Chrissy Cole examines how the gospel personally transformed Paul and how it should continue transforming us. When God’s grace grips us, His mercy humbles us, and His goodness moves us to worship, we can stop living from guilt and self-effort and begin serving, growing, and sharing our testimony from the overflow of His grace.

“Guard the Gospel” by Caleb Cole

In 1 Timothy 1:1–11, Paul instructs Timothy to confront false teaching and guard the gospel within the church at Ephesus. Pastor Caleb Cole explains why sound doctrine matters, how speculation and hidden knowledge can distract believers from Scripture, and why Christians must carefully evaluate what they hear against the Word of God. Real love protects what saves, and Jesus is the only one who can save. Guarding the gospel is not about winning arguments or correcting people from a place of pride. Correction must come from a pure heart, a good conscience, sincere faith, and genuine love. This message also explores the proper purpose of the law, the grace that saves us through faith in Jesus, and the responsibility every believer has to share the good news that transforms hearts, families, and lives.

“Blessed are the Pure in Heart” by Caleb Cole

In this message from The Beatitudes, Caleb Cole teaches from Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” A pure heart is not a perfect heart, but an undivided heart surrendered to God.
