Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons by Pastor Tim Travis (Page 6)
Mothers have a profound influence on their children and the world. Throughout history, women have used their influence for both good and evil. Some biblical examples of women using their influence for good include Eve, Sarah, Esther, and Hannah. These women demonstrated faith, patience, courage, and wisdom in their roles as mothers and leaders. They…
During the Dispensation of Promise, God worked with Abraham to establish a great nation, Israel. This covenant promised blessings to Abraham, his descendants, and all who blessed them. Failure to believe this promise resulted in consequences, as seen in the cases of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Despite the failures of individuals, God remained faithful to…
The Great Commission requires us to share the gospel. With God’s power, we are commanded to teach all nations, baptizing them and discipling them to follow Jesus. Though it may not be easy, we must prioritize this task, as it is essential for the salvation of others and the fulfillment of God’s purpose. Our study…
Following the Great Flood, God implemented the dispensation of human government, reestablishing man’s dominion over animals and granting them authority to consume meat with certain limitations.

By doing so, we are not only obeying Jesus’ teachings but also setting an example for others. When Jesus came to Earth, He willingly took on a humble and servant’s role, even to the point of…
In this message we look at the Dispensation of Innocence, the first period of human history, which began with Adam and Eve’s creation. God gave Adam and Eve dominion over the Earth and instructed them to care for it. However, they disobeyed God by eating from the forbidden tree, leading to the entrance of sin…
To honor Christ and fulfill His purpose, we must exalt Him. Jesus has delivered us from darkness and reconciled us to God, redeeming us through His blood and forgiving our sins (Colossians 1:13-14). He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, and the preeminent authority over all things (vv. 15-17).…
