I Love Jesus, But Hate…

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

Some might say the church has fallen on hard times. Many people express openness to Jesus, but they just can’t stand to be around some church people. This four-week series uses the letters that Paul wrote Timothy to anchor a number of foundational principles that detail what the church is and its importance in the life of the believer. “I Love Jesus, But Hate” wrestles with areas that cause people hesitation in church. It also examines what God’s Word teaches on the importance of the local church.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
