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.

(1 Timothy 4:7–16)
When we train for something, whether it's a sporting event, a career or a new skill, we usually have a goal in mind and a plan to help us get there. But what does it look like to train for godliness?
In his first letter to Timothy, Paul challenges him to be intentional about growing in godliness. It's a challenge that raises some important questions for us as followers of Jesus. Are we actually training ourselves to be godly? How would we know? And what might that training look like in everyday life?
Join us as Megan explores Paul's encouragement to Timothy and challenges us to consider how intentionally we are following Jesus.
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.
