What does it mean to hold fast to the faith in a world filled with competing messages? This Sunday, Pastor Jared Richard will continue our For the Church series in 1 Timothy 3:14-4:5, where Paul reminds us of the importance of standing firm in the truth of the gospel and keeping our focus on Christ. Take time this weekend to read the passage and listen to the songs we'll sing together as we prepare for worship.

Jesus came to serve, and His greatest act of service was giving His life to save us from our sin.

We don't serve others to earn God's favor. We serve because of the grace we've received through Christ, following His example of putting others before ourselves.

Who could you show that same love to this week?

What does faithful leadership look like in the church? Sometimes it's found in the quiet, everyday acts of serving others. In 1 Timothy 3:8-13, Pastor Patrick Austin explains why deacons matter to the health of the church. Their godly character, practical care, and commitment to unity help the church flourish and keep its focus on the gospel. And their example reminds every believer that we have a part to play in serving one another, following the example of Jesus Christ, who gave His life to save us. Watch the replay on our website.

Life isn't meant to be lived alone.

Finding a church where you can grow in your faith and build real friendships isn't always easy. At Bay Leaf Baptist Church, we believe God's Word is central to everything we do. Whether it's through worship, Bible study, or time spent together, our desire is to help people of all ages grow closer to Christ and one another.

If you're looking for a church home, we'd love for you to join us this Sunday at one of our two North Raleigh campuses.

📍 Falls Lake Campus • Worship: 8:30 AM & 11 AM, Groups for all ages: 9:45 AM
📍 540 Campus • Worship: 10 AM, Groups for all ages: 11:15 AM

We never reach a point in our faith when we no longer need God's Word.

Whether we've followed Christ for years or are just beginning to know Him, Scripture continues to teach us, correct us, and point us to Jesus.

The more we grow, the more we recognize how much we need the truth of God's Word.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month, and we’re taking time to thank God for the pastors He has given our Bay Leaf family!

Their ministry goes far beyond Sunday mornings. From preaching God’s Word and discipling others to praying with families, offering encouragement, and walking alongside people through life’s joys and challenges, our pastors faithfully serve in ways both seen and unseen.

To our pastors, thank you for your love for the Lord, your commitment to His Word, and the many ways you care for and lead our church family. We are grateful for each of you and for the ways God is working through your lives and ministry!

Bay Leaf family, join us in thanking and praying for our pastors this month!

Why does the character of a pastor matter so much? Because the leadership of the church affects the witness of the church. In 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and 5:17-25, Pastor Jared Richard walks through what Scripture says about the calling and qualifications of pastors, and the responsibility we share as a church to discern, honor, and hold our leaders accountable. Giftedness matters, but character matters more. And while pastors are called to lead faithfully, our hope has never rested in perfect leaders. It rests in Jesus Christ, the Chief Shepherd, whose grace sustains His church. Watch the replay at https://www.bayleaf.org/sermon/a-noble-task
