Hello All, This week the Podcast is from Sunday Sept. 27th 2026 with Pastor Travis with week 3 of the teaching The Timothy Project Pt.3.

These are some of the Notes and Scriptures referenced during the sermon:

2 Timothy 2:1–3 (NKJV)
“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”

2 Timothy 4:5 (NKJV)
“But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

Romans 12:6-9 (NLT)
6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. 9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

2 Timothy 2:4-7 (NKJV)
4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

The Christians disciple is described three ways:
1)Soldier (Spiritual Warfare)
2)Athlete (Discipline)
3)And a farmer ( Planter)

and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
