In Matthew 16, Jesus declares that His Church is built not on human strength or structures but on the unshakable confession that He is the Christ. Buildings may expand, styles may shift, and seasons may change, but the Church endures because Christ Himself is its foundation and builder. As we look to the future, our confidence isn’t in steel or drywall—it’s in the Savior who promises that even the gates of hell cannot prevail against His Church.
First Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:5-15 Gospel Reading: Matthew 16:13-18 |

As we step into the midsummer groove, we will be beginning a sermon series called “Shared Spaces, Shared Lives.” In this series we will begin to explore how God forms and sustains His people through life lived together in Christ. Walking through the early chapters of Acts, we see the Spirit creating sacred spaces of unity through Word and prayer, shaping hearts through radical generosity, and sanctifying everyday relationships. Along the way, Christ brings healing and restoration, drawing broken lives back into community. Ultimately, the Spirit empowers believers to share not only space, but life itself—boldly witnessing to Christ together in the world. |

Earlier this week, an email was sent to Timothy members inviting you to participate in our ““How Is God Stretching You?” Assessment as part of our Growing Pains: When God Stretches His Church sermon series.
If you have not had a chance to complete the assessment yet, we encourage you to do so prayerfully and thoughtfully. This tool is designed to help you discover the unique gifts God has given you and explore ways He may be calling you to grow in faith, service, and relationships.
The assessment can be completed online through the link provided in the email. If you prefer a paper version, copies are available at church. Once completed, please return paper assessments to the Administrative Church Office.
Your responses will be reviewed confidentially by the GIVE Commission, who will help identify areas of strength, spiritual gifts, and opportunities for service that align with how God may be leading you.
Thank you for taking the time to participate. We look forward to seeing how God is working through the people of Timothy to serve His church and community.
"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." — 1 Corinthians 12:27 |

Men, you are invited to join us for a weekly Breakfast Bible Study as we gather around God’s Word, good conversation, and encouragement. Proverbs 27:17 reminds us, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Life can pull men in many directions, but God never intended us to walk alone. Through Scripture, prayer, and brotherhood, we are strengthened for our homes, work, church, and community. Come enjoy breakfast, build friendships, and grow in faith with other men seeking to follow Christ faithfully. Join us each week and be sharpened by God’s Word. As we prepare for the next Bible study series, Pastor Rod will lead our study this Tuesday on the topic "Iron Sharpens Iron: Why Men Need Weekly Bible Study." Hope to see you on Tuesday! Tuesday, July 14, 6:30 AM Royal Biscuit – Blue Springs |
