Teacher: David Leventhal. Welcome, CityBridge Family! This morning, we’re diving into 1 Timothy 1:18-20, where Paul challenges Timothy to stand firm in his calling—to guard the gospel with unwavering faith and a clear conscience. Paul warns that failing to do so can lead to a shipwrecked faith, pointing to examples of Hymenaeus and Alexander, who strayed from the truth.

This passage reminds us that faith isn’t passive—it’s a battle. We are called to fight the good fight, holding tightly to the truth of the gospel. Just as Paul entrusted Timothy with this mission, we too have been entrusted with the gospel to live it out and pass it on.
