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.

On September 11, 2001, American was attacked by terrorists that flew planes into the World Trade Center. Thankfully one of the highjacked planes did not reach its intended target. It crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The famous last words from that flight were spoken by Todd Beamer as he and the other passengers tried to regain control of the plane. They were, “Let’s Roll.” Those famous last words were later used as the rallying cry of the President to inspire America to fight back against Al-Qaeda. Join us this weekend as we come to the final chapter of 2 Timothy and study Paul’s famous last words to Timothy… Preach the Word!

The Internet gives us access to thousands of Bible teachers around the world. The pandemic forced us to stay home and worship online. For many that was a chance to shop around. It was a chance to experience some of the best communicators in the nation. How do we evaluate them? While they have the applause of the crowds, how do you know if they have the applause of God? Join us as we continue our study in 2 Timothy and learn how to tell the difference between a good pastor and bad one.

If you were looking for a good pastor, what would you look for? Is a good pastor just someone that makes you laugh with his jokes and amazes you with his care? In this passage, Paul shows Timothy what it looks like for him to serve as a good pastor in the church of Ephesus, in spite of his youth. In the process, we learn how to look for and find a good shepherd for our souls.

At Faith Church, what can you expect? In this series, we cover seven core values that drive the Faith Church experience. We want them felt across all campuses. Our first core value is the relevant expositional teaching of the Bible. The Bible and church history are clear. The people of God are always created and sustained by the Word of God. Relevant expositional teaching of the Word of God is how God gathers and sustains his church.
