"A Can of Worms"

1 Timothy 2:1-15

Tom Cater, Preaching

Main Question: Why did Paul open that “can”?

The Prayer Initiative

God is calling us to pray--for our church, for our community, and for His

Kingdom plans to be accomplished. Will you answer the call? Join us on

Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm for 30 minutes of praise and prayer.

"Convicted and Changed":

A Series of Messages from 1 & 2 Thessalonians; 1 & 2 Timothy; and Titus

While most of Paul’s letters were written to specific churches and people, they were often shared from

church to church, from leader to leader. The letters that we’ll be studying over the next few months deal

with the theme of holy living, but in order for that to happen we must be convicted of our need for Jesus and

be willing to change to be more like Him. I pray that this series will help us all discover and apply the truth

about what it means to follow Jesus
