Come What May

2 Timothy 4:6-9

12 October 2025

After doctors’ reports, global turmoil, and rejection for speaking truth, how do we respond? Paul reminds us that faithfulness isn’t shaped by ease, but by commitment to Christ, come what may.

In Gospel Readiness, drawn from 2 Timothy 4:1–5, believers are called to live alert and anchored in Christ’s return. Pastor Ben Honeyford explores what it means to stay spiritually sober, patient in suffering, and unwavering in gospel proclamation amid a world of distraction and false teaching. True readiness shifts the focus from self to the Savior—always watching, always trusting, always proclaiming.

The Reward for Reformation

2 Timothy 3:10-17

28 September 2025

Semper Reformanda — always reforming. Now that might seem like a fancy slogan or a catchy motto. What does it mean? What does it look like in our lives? Does it mean that we're always changing simply because we need to improve?

The Spiritual Battle Plan

2 Timothy 3:1-9

21 September 2025

Benjamin Franklin famously said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” In other words, the most successful people are those who have clear goals and a well-defined strategy. Without a plan, you’re simply wandering through the wilderness, hoping that one day—just maybe—you’ll reach your destination. It simply won’t happen.

The Triumph of Truth

2 Timothy 2:20–26

7 September 2025

It was that fateful day, February 4, 2018, when the unthinkable happened. The 57-year wait was over. The Eagles football team finally secured their Super Bowl victory, and the excitement was nothing short of amazing. I was there at the victory parade shortly after—over a million fans gathered to celebrate the triumph of an underdog. Nobody thought it was possible, defeating the New England Patriots, but the Eagles did it. And the “Philly Special” is forever etched into the hearts of millions.

Captive for Christ

2 Timothy 2:8-13

31 August 2025

Has there ever been a time in your life when you felt like you were being held captive? It could be your job—waking up on a Monday morning, not this Monday, but realizing, "Oh no, I have to go to my prison cell called the cubicle." Or it could be school. You think about all of the years that are left until you're finally free.

Ordinary to Extraordinary

2 Timothy 2:1-7

24 August 2025

You've heard it said, it only takes a little extra to turn ordinary into extraordinary. But I tell you, it only takes a little extra understanding about an extraordinary God. In other words, the world in their thinking, in their living, thinks about moving from the ordinary to the extraordinary in very different ways than the Christian does.

Guardians of the Gospel

2 Timothy 1:11-18

17 August 2025

A keeper. A protector. Now these are just some of the words that are used to describe who a guardian is. Why and for whom? Well, quite simply, it’s a child or adult with disabilities. They don’t have anyone to look out for them. A guardian is that one who is appointed by the court, a legal representative. He is an advocate fighting for the rights of others.

Conviction Over Cowardice

2 Timothy 1:6-10

10 August 2025

People pleaser or God pleaser? Well, that's a great question. As a Christian, I certainly want to please God in all that I do. But I find myself in the position of wanting to please others. So how do I understand the difference between the two, or some combination of both?
