1 Timothy 6:3-10 – The Love of Money
This message warns how the love of money can quietly pull our hearts away from Jesus and destroy our lives. Using Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 6, we see a profile of false teachers who are driven by pride, controversy, and a desire to use “godliness” as a way to get rich. Paul doesn’t say money itself is evil, but that craving it turns it into an idol that leads to ruin. In contrast, believers are called to the freedom…
1 Timothy 5:1-16 – We Are Family
Paul reminds the church that in Christ we’ve been adopted into God’s family, so we must treat one another like true brothers and sisters. Love shows up as gentleness with older men, encouragement, respect for all, and purity, especially toward younger women. He then instructs the church to honor “true widows” (those most at risk) while calling families to care for their own. The church supports widows, and widows, in turn, serve the church through prayer and godly example. Because…
1 Timothy 4:1-16 – The Pastor’s Workout Plan
Paul warns that deceiving doctrines will try to pull believers away from Jesus, so the church must cling to the truth, be trained by Scripture, and persist in godliness. Pastor Kyle shows that truth isn’t protected by accident. We block lies, saturate our lives with the Word, and put it into practice. As we pursue daily obedience with hope in the living God, our lives become a model for others and a safeguard for the church. The “pastor’s workout plan”…
Proverbs 22:6 – Happy Father’s Day
Guest speaker Eric Lee shares from Proverbs 22:6 on parenting our kids and raising them to love God. Eric is a former church planter and current member of Island Pond Baptist Church. Island Pond Baptist Church is an SBC church in Hampstead, NH, just minutes from Atkinson, NH. We also have many people at our church from surrounding cities such as Chester, Sandown, Danville, Kingston, Fremont, Plaistow, Atkinson, Derry, Londonderry, Salem, and Haverhill. If you live in Southern New Hampshire,…
1 Timothy 3:14-16 – The Key To Godliness
In 1 Timothy 3:14-16, Paul names the “mystery of godliness” and shows it’s not our performance but a person: Jesus Christ, manifested, vindicated, proclaimed, believed, and glorified. The church, as the household of the living God, is called to hold up and guard this truth like a pillar and foundation. When Christ dwells in us, he produces the aroma of true godliness, and that inward reality then shapes how we live together. Behavior doesn’t make us godly. Godliness, Christ in…
1 Timothy 3:1-13 – Elders and Deacons
Paul outlines God’s qualifications for church leaders so the church stays healthy and centered on the gospel. Elders (pastors/overseers) must be men of integrity who can teach, lead, and guard the flock. Their credibility shows up at home and in the community. Deacons lead by serving, meeting practical needs so elders can focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word. Elders lead by shepherding; deacons lead by serving. Sermon Clip The message notes for the sermon can be…
1 Timothy 2:9-15 – Directions For Men and Women in the Church
Paul addresses order in the gathered church, calling men to replace arguments with intercession and women to pursue modesty and a teachable spirit. He limits the elder/pastor role to qualified men, grounding this not in culture but in creation order (Adam and Eve). Far from devaluing women, the passage invites them to learn and flourish within God’s design so the church is unified and the gospel is displayed. “Replace arguments with intercession, and let God reorder our hearts so the…
Genesis 50 – The Faith of Joseph
Joseph’s final chapter (Genesis 50) showcases a faith that obeys, trusts, and hopes. He honors his father’s wishes despite inconvenience, forgives his brothers because he trusts God’s providence. “You meant evil… but God meant it for good.” Then he dies with confident hope that God will bring Israel home. The message calls us to choose obedience over convenience, to trust God to work good from real evil, and to anchor our hope in Christ and our true home with him.…
Matthew 28:16-20 – A Disciple Makes Disciples
In this sermon, Pastor Kyle gives the seventh characteristic of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, which is: A disciple of Jesus Christ makes other disciples. In Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus is speaking with his disciples and gives them a command. He tells them go out and make other disciples. But how is this done? What is a disciple? Pastor Kyle looks at this and explains more. Our top priority as individuals and a church should be to make disciples. Sermon…
Matthew 28:16-20 – We Are Called To Make Disciples
“If we don’t know where we are headed, then any direction will get us there.” In this sermon, Pastor Kyle talks about where the church is headed in the next few years. Preaching from Matthew 28, he shows that Jesus has given all Christians the mission of making disciples. That should be our focus as a church and that is what we will be working toward improving in the years to come. If Jesus wants Christians to make disciples, then…
