Message: “The Daily Conundrum” from Gavin Brown

A message from the series "The Apprentice." (1 Timothy 5:1–25) In the face of immense need and endless opportunities to extend mercy, where do we direct our energy? We all encounter situations where we want to help, but our time, energy and resources are limited. How do we navigate these tensions without becoming overwhelmed or simply choosing to stop noticing? In this message, Gavin explores Paul's practical instructions to Timothy about caring for those in need, and what they teach us about extending mercy wisely and faithfully. Join us as we consider how we can respond to the needs around us while recognising our own limitations.

Avoid Spiritual Shipwreck

(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.
