An Expositional Series by Pastor Jim Harmeling from June to August 2020

What do healthy churches really look like?  In a world filled with shifting trends, competing opinions, and subtle spiritual counterfeits, how can a local body of believers know whether it is truly thriving according to God’s design or simply drifting into spiritual compromise?

In this expositional journey through Paul’s first letter to Timothy, Pastor Jim Harmeling unpacks the vital marks of a thriving congregation through one recurring standard: Healthy churches…. 

Step by step, this series reveals that vibrant church life is not accidental; healthy churches intentionally guard and protect the gospel message, pray with evangelistic urgency and unity, cultivate proven godly leaders, ground themselves in sound doctrine to counter false teaching, honor and care for one another across generations, and ruthlessly avoid the seductive pull of worldliness.  Together, these practical, verse-by-verse messages call us to align our hearts, our relationships, and our church community with God’s blueprint for enduring spiritual health.
