Basic Christian Values | The Word | Oshkosh | January 18, 2026

This message emphasizes that the Word of God is a foundational Christian value and the primary means by which believers are saved, shaped, and equipped for a godly life. Using Paul’s final letter to Timothy as its framework, the teaching highlights the authority, reliability, and life-giving power of Scripture, reminding the church that the Bible is God-breathed, enduring, and fully sufficient to teach truth, expose sin, correct wrong paths, and train believers in righteousness. In a world that increasingly rejects sound teaching in favor of comforting myths, believers are called to be people rooted in God’s Word, allowing it to guide daily life, deepen faith, mature spiritual growth, and prepare them for good works and service. The message challenges Christians to move beyond passive belief into disciplined, consistent engagement with Scripture, recognizing that time spent in God’s Word leads to spiritual fruitfulness, discernment, blessing, and effectiveness in fulfilling God’s mission.
