Level 1

This message kicks off the Level Up series by inviting us to take ownership of our spiritual growth and leadership. Through Paul’s personal letter to Timothy, we’re reminded that faith isn’t meant to stay on autopilot—it’s meant to be fanned into flame. Paul challenges Timothy to recognize the sincere faith passed down to him, to use his spiritual gifts boldly, and to expect that obedience will come with challenges. We’re called to follow God’s Word closely, guard what’s been entrusted to us, and live in a way that, like Paul, we can one day say, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Whether you’re a leader, a parent, or someone just trying to grow closer to God, this message is a call to level up—to move from passive belief to active purpose.
