This week we finish our study on what it means to be a faithful pastor. We will look at the way Paul tells Timothy—and all faithful pastors—to handle difficult seasons when people leave the church to follow false teachers that deliver only people-pleasing messages to tickles the ears.

In 2015, Josh Canfield—a lead choir director at Hill Song church, competed as a contestant on the Survivor television show. What came as a surprise was on the show he openly identified as being gay, a Christian, and on staff at Hill Song church. Shortly after the airing of that Survivor season, the church removed him from leadership. He didn’t understand why. He had told everyone in leadership on his campus that he was gay and in a relationship, yet they continued to let him lead because of his vocal talent and stage presence. Why had church leadership turned a blind eye to his lifestyle until it came out on national television? What should the church have done differently? Join us this weekend as we continue in our study of 2 Timothy 4 and learn what it means to be a faithful pastor when the church has become a place of entertainment.

Where do you find your sense of self-worth? For most of us, it is in our work. For stay-at-home mom's, their identity is usually found in being a mother. If you are in high school, your identity is often found in your sport or the instrument you plan in the band. The problem is, when what we do is taken away from us, it crushes our understanding of who we are. In Colossians, Paul shows us how our identity doesn't come from what we do but what God has done for us through Jesus. This is the key to overcoming our depression and sagging self-worth.

As Christians, we all fail Jesus... sometimes we fail miserably. When we fail Jesus in a big way, is their hope for the future? Does God write us off? As we begin this series, we will look at the life of Peter and what we can learn about recovering from massive spiritual failures.

Approximately ten years ago, Christian Smith -- a sociologist from the University of North Carolina -- surveyed 3,000 teenagers to find what they believed about their faith. They learned that most young adults were not traditional Christians. They had believed a close counterfeit to Christianity he called Moralistic Therapeutic Deism. What is MTD? Why have so many Christians bought it? What makes it dangerous? Join us as we discover the answer.

TopicsCulture

In this series, we cover seven core values that drive the Faith Church experience. Our seventh core value is culture. Many churches encourage you to escape culture and condemn it. You are encouraged to live in separation from the world. At Faith, we encourage the opposite. We want to engage culture and redeem it for the glory of Christ. Join us as we explain why we are heading in the opposite direction.
