Robby Pollard, Lead Pastor
Real faith works.
2 Timothy 4:6
6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

2 Timothy 1:14
14By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
2 Timothy 1:5

A living faith in your children must first live in you.
“Gen A is showing signs of decreased interest and participation in institutional religion thus far. As digital natives, their connection to faith communities may be more sporadic and virtual. A trend worth noting: the role of parents in shaping Gen A’s spirituality remains vital. Research indicates the majority of Gen A will have had no connection with a church at all as a child unless their parents facilitated that engagement from a young age.”
2 Timothy 1:5
5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.
Timothy had faith because he had a faithful mother.
A living faith in your children must first live in you.
2 Timothy 3:1-9
1But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
2 Timothy 3:7
7always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:10-11
10You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.
2 Timothy 3:12-13
12Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:14-15
14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
16All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 4:6-8
6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
