Summary

As believers, we often find ourselves in a delicate balance between two perspectives. On one hand, we’re called to love the lost without compromising the truth. On the other, we must stand firm in the truth while avoiding self-righteousness. So, how do we navigate this tension? In this week’s teaching, Francis Chan dives into Paul’s message in 2 Timothy 4, painting a picture of a church where truth is never watered down, love and boldness go hand in hand, and the mission is clear: preach the Word, no matter the cost.

0:08.0	As followers of Christ, sometimes it's a challenge to navigate the tension of loving the lost without compromising the truth.
0:17.0	In this week's teaching, Francis Chan explores Paul's directive in 2 Timothy 4 and describes
0:22.9	a church where truth isn't watered down, where love meets boldness, and where the mission
0:29.4	is clear.
0:30.7	Preach the word no matter the cost.
0:35.5	Do you guys ever have those times when you are so enamored with God and so happy in your relationship with Jesus Christ that you can't even, you don't even know how to express it?
0:50.2	Like for me, yesterday was a day like that where, I don't know if you ever had a time where you're just so happy to be in relationship with God, like a love relationship with God.
1:00.0	And I was to the point where, man, my eyes are welling up in prayer just going, God, I just, because he had answered a bunch of prayers.
1:07.3	And it just seemed like all week long, everything I pray for. And it was so specific and it was
1:13.3	so obvious. There's no way this is coincidence. It's just God. And I just was praying. I'm going,
1:18.4	God, I just, I can't believe how much you love me. The words that came out of mouth is, I go,

1:41.7	And why do you, why do you answer me the way you do? And I'm just blown away and just,
1:47.0	it's one of those times where as a child of God, you just go, I love having you as my father.
1:51.9	I love being your creation. I love everything about you. And you just get so emotional because
1:58.1	you're just so happy. And it was so weird because then on the
