Wise people focus on issues that matter.

Text: Proverbs 27:10

Friendships will be some of the wisest investments you will ever make.

1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus reveal the heart of an older leader urging young pastors to hold fast to truth in a world full of distraction and distortion. These letters call the church back to character, integrity, and the kind of leadership that grows out of a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. Paul exposes shallow teaching, confronts pride, and equips Timothy and Titus to shepherd believers with wisdom. As the first generation of apostles fades, the torch is placed firmly in the hands of faithful men and women who will carry the gospel forward.

Text: Hebrews 6:2

Your capacity for input depends largely upon your output.

Explore the incredible variety in the ways God communicates. Participants learn to recognize His voice in Scripture, creation, inner promptings, dreams, visions, angelic encounters, and even in rare moments of audible speech. The teaching encourages believers to welcome God’s creativity and to pay attention to both simple and extraordinary moments where He reveals His heart.

Paul’s opening words in Colossians set the tone for the whole letter: identity rooted in Christ, not in role, achievement, or spiritual performance. Even in two short verses, Paul reminds the church that grace and peace come from God—not from striving—and that believers are “saints” because they’ve been set apart by Him, not because they’ve earned a title. The session highlights Paul’s humility in introducing himself simply as “Paul, an apostle,” keeping function and identity distinct, and modelling a way of ministry that resists status and embraces servanthood. It also places the letter in its context—Colossae facing subtle, blended influences that threatened to nudge believers off course by only a degree or two. In a world full of “designer spirituality,” Paul’s introduction quietly calls the church back to the clarity, authority, and sufficiency of Christ from the very first line.
