Message: “Avoid Spiritual Shipwreck” from Gavin Brown

A message from the series "The Apprentice." (1 Timothy 2:1-15) As we continue our series The Apprentice, Gavin explores Paul's instructions to Timothy about how to avoid spiritual shipwreck. In the busyness of church life, and even in our personal faith, it can be easy to become so focused on WHAT we do and HOW we do it that we lose sight of WHY we are doing it in the first place. As Gavin unpacks Paul's words to Timothy, including some challenging verses about women and authority in the church, we are invited to consider how we interpret Scripture and whether our priorities are still aligned with God's purposes. Join us as we explore what it means to keep the WHY at the centre of everything we do.

What's The Fruit?

Questions, debates and theological wrestling can be valuable parts of growing in our faith. But what happens when the questions themselves become the focus? In 1 Timothy 1, Paul challenges a church that had become caught up in speculation and meaningless talk, losing sight of what their conversations were meant to produce. Rather than telling Timothy to shut down every question, Paul points him towards something more important: the fruit those conversations produce. Join us as Iain explores how we can ask good questions, wrestle honestly with faith, and keep returning to the question: What would love look like in this conversation?

This series equips the church in the practices of following Jesus with intentionality. Topics such as speech, worship, leadership in the home, visibility in witness, Christian maturity, and generosity help believers grow in character and competency. The tone is practical and encouraging - a gentle training ground for everyday discipleship, but also a platform to talk about the importance of applying truth in context.
