Profile of a Healthy Church: 1 Timothy 1:1-11

Oct 12, 2025    Pastor Pete Radford

In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves distracted from what truly matters. This message challenges us to refocus on the core of Christianity: the transformative power of the gospel. Drawing from 1 Timothy, we're reminded that healthy churches guard against distractions, cultivate love flowing from the gospel, and read the Old Testament in light of Christ's redemptive work. The story of Wrong Way Corrigan serves as a poignant reminder that without the gospel as our compass, we can easily veer off course. As we reflect on our own lives, let's ask ourselves: Are we allowing secondary concerns to overshadow our primary mission of making disciples? Are we known for our love, as Jesus commanded? Let's recommit to centering our lives and our church around the gospel, ensuring that everything we do serves to further God's grand enterprise of bringing redemption to the world.
