When the Noise Gets Too Loud - Guest Steve Brown, Key Life Network
In Luke 10, we are told the story of Mary and Martha. Martha worked hard in the kitchen preparing a meal for their guest, Jesus, while Mary sat in another room with Him. So often in life, we miss what Jesus wants to teach us because we are busy doing "right things", but for the wrong reasons. We need to go to Jesus first - He is a safe place. When the Noise gets too loud, go, sit at Jesus feet, and listen to His voice.

Staying the Course - Paul McIlwraith
In the Bible, there is a short letter sent from a mentor to his protégé. The mentor is imprisoned, and facing the very real prospect of martyrdom for his faith.
In his final words to his student and friend, this man encourages him to remain faithful to his calling as a leader in the church - even in the midst of strife and opposition. The Apostle Paul's final words to Timothy found in 2 Timothy, are a challenge and encouragement to "Stay the Course and Keep the Faith". They were words of life and hope to Timothy in his day, and they remain powerful words to us in our culture today. -

Running the Gauntlet (When the race gets ugly) - Dean Sherk
(2 Timothy 3)
Have you ever felt like everyone and everything was against you? That ‘enemies' of all sorts and sizes were trying to take you out of the race? The apostle Paul instructs Timothy to expect some tough times in these "last days". He describes the intensity and character of people in the last days. Are the false teachers and imposters outside, or inside the church? What's a young leader to do? What's any disciple to do?
Paul encourages Timothy (and us) to remember two critical truths that will help one stay the course and keep the faith ...when the race gets ugly. -

Out of the Blocks - Karen West
(2 Timothy 1:1-7)
Do you sometimes feel that life has set before you a race that is too difficult to run? ...that you don't have what it takes to manage the road that lies ahead? ...that you'd far rather run away from the race, than into it?
You are not alone! Timothy had fears like this, too! In this letter, the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy to encourage him in his faith, and to remind him that everything he needs to run the race before him, he already has ‘in Christ'. As followers of Jesus, we are not given a "spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline", so we can, in his strength, get out of the starting blocks, and run! May God's Word remind you of his activity in your race, so you can stay the course, and keep the faith.
