Our Common Confession
God is thoroughly mysterious and yet completely believable. 1Timothy 3:16 – Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory.
Seventeen Inches and Truth
God’s truth is timeless 1 Timothy 3:14-15 – Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
God’s Chosen Youth
God’s chosen youth will strive to be a holy example to all. 1 Timothy 4:12 – Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
