”Sincerity”, 1 Timothy 1:3-7. Francois Koorts. Thames Valley churches of Christ

François helped us to examine the sincerity of our faith. Why do we come to church? Why do we do what we do as Christians?

Are we consciously building a healthy spiritual culture, or swimming unconsciously in a religious culture?

The sincerity of Jesus meant he lived “free”.

Pharisees could not accept this:

• Matthew 12:9-13
• Matthew 12:1-8
• Mark 7:6-7

He hung out with all the “wrong” people. How do we do this without overstepping healthy boundaries? He had a strong connection with God and discernment.

1. Listen. Proverbs 12:15; Matthew 5:43-47
2. Challenge your fear. Acts 7:30-36.
3. Live by what you have attained.  Philippines 3:10-16.

Please add your comments on this week’s topic. We learn best when we learn in community. 

 

Do you have a question about the Bible or the Christian faith? Is it theological, technical, practical? Send us your questions or suggestions. Here’s the email: tvcochrist@gmail.com.

 

Thanks again for listening. Have a super day.

 

God bless,
