As We Gather for Worship This Weekend:
Keep Watching

Today we stand alongside Ezekiel and take a look at a downright depressing view.  A valley of dusty, dry, and dormant bones.  It’s the kind of thing we can’t bear to watch or we don’t want to see.  Yet God meets us in the valley and wants us to keep watching.  Why?  Because He isn’t done yet!

God Loves to Help

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5

These might be some of the most relief-giving words in the Bible. “If we don’t know what we’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help.” So often in life we don’t know what we’re doing! We don’t know what we’re doing with our career, with parenting a difficult child, with the church ministries and how to move forward. What Scripture is assuring us is that it’s okay not to know! Because God is here to help.
As you move through your day, if you’re lacking wisdom today, ask God for what you need! He is so kind, generous, and faithful to give it.
Calling All Men!!
Get Up! Get Ready! Get Pumped!
Journey Men 2023 Kickoff Breakfast
All Timothy men and their friends are invited to a free pancake breakfast TOMORROW SATURDAY, March 25th, from 8-9 am at the Wyatt Campus, hosted by Timothy’s JourneyMen ministry.

Joining Jesus on His Mission

Have you ever seen a life changed? And I don’t mean like in small, little ways. I’m talking about 180 degrees, darkness-to-light kind of changed? That’s exactly what Jesus does every single day. It’s this amazing, incredible, eternal life-changing thing. And guess what? He is inviting and calling YOU to be a part of this eternally life-changing work. And that doesn’t require a theological degree or traveling around the world. He’s calling you (us) into your own community in very simple ways.

Join us on April 29th from 9am-noon as we begin learning what it looks like to Join Jesus on His Mission and make an eternal difference. Stay tuned for more details soon. Contact Pastor Ryan with questions.

Recent questions/comments:
1. A huge complex of apartments is being built within two blocks of Timothy’s north site, across from St. Mary’s Medical Center. Hundreds of new residents are within walking distance. Is it possible that God called us to actively minister to this “harvest field”? Why not keep the north site for a few more years to explore this ministry opportunity?
Response: It is very exciting that new housing seems active again, especially in neighborhoods near churches. Timothy was recently approached by a developer building houses just south of Wyatt Road about partnering with new residents in that area as well.
