Fusion: week of 1/5

FAMILY THEME: SINCERE FAITH

1 Timothy 1:1 - 2:7

Spiritual warfare is a real and regular aspect of the life of a

disciple of Jesus. Being grounded in the faith is the best way

to defend it.

1.  Reject False Teachers and False Doctrine and Grow in

     Godly Love

     (1 Timothy 1:1-11)

     False teaching and the speculation it breeds lead

     people away from sincere faith in Jesus.

 
2.  By His Grace God Will Save Us and Use Us in Spite of

     Our Past Sins

     (1 Timothy 1:12-20)

     Paul was an example of how God will redeem anyone

     who believes in Christ.

     

3.  The Spiritual Discipline of Prayer is a Distinguishing Mark

     of Sincere Faith

     (1 Timothy 2:1-7)

     God's desire for all to be saved should lead us to pray

     for all to be saved.
