6) Take Heed: Unto Thyself & The Doctrine (Nate Kooienga)

Summary: This sermon emphasizes the importance of both sound doctrine and righteous living in the Christian life. The speaker, Nate, explores Paul's instruction to Timothy to "take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine," highlighting that this dual focus is crucial for spiritual growth and effectiveness in ministry. The sermon warns against the dangers of neglecting either doctrine or personal conduct, stressing that both are necessary for a healthy Christian life and for positively influencing others.
