WEEK 6 | READY FOR RELATIONAL WARFARE
Fight Ready Series | Pastor Craig Turnbull
In this week’s message, Pastor Craig Turnbull teaches from 1 Timothy 5, where Paul lays out how the church should function as the family of God. In a world full of division, believers are called to fight for one another, not against one another—honoring older generations, protecting the vulnerable, and caring deeply for each other’s spiritual and physical well-being.
Through Paul’s guidance to Timothy, we see that godly relationships are essential to a healthy church. From honoring widows and supporting pastors to maintaining purity and integrity in every relationship, the household of God is meant to reflect His heart.
Key Takeaways:
Treat others in the church as family—fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters in Christ.
The church must lead the way in caring for those who are forgotten or overlooked.
Honoring and supporting church leaders includes accountability, not blind loyalty.
The world will know we belong to Jesus by the way we love one another.
