In this sermon on 1 Timothy 1:12-17, Pastor Jim explores Paul’s testimony as a former persecutor shown mercy, centering on the trustworthy statement that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Drawing on Paul’s encouragement to Timothy and the contrast between the invisible, eternal King and the visible Caesars of the world, the message invites listeners to reject the lie that they are the exception to God’s saving work. No past is too dark for God’s more-than-abundant grace, and the proper response is daily thanksgiving and worship of the King Eternal.
