Don't Move The Pillar

The pressure on the church in every generation is the same: move the pillar. Move it a little so nobody gets offended. Move it a little so culture approves. Move it a little so the message fits the moment.

But the church was never called to author the truth. We were called to hold it up.

In this message, we walk through 1 Timothy 3:14-16 and unpack the three "C's" of the church: her Conduct, her Calling, and her Confession. From Timothy's assignment in Ephesus to the seven responsibilities entrusted to the church, this is a call to stay rooted when everything around us keeps shifting.

If you're not rooted somewhere deeper than the latest opinion, you'll eventually start moving with whatever voice is loudest. This house was built to hold the truth. Don't move the pillar.
