Tim Conway

Timothy A. Conway (1978 - ). American pastor, Bible teacher, and evangelist born in Cleveland, Ohio. Converted in 1999 at 20 after a rebellious youth, he left a career in physical therapy to pursue ministry, studying at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary but completing his training informally through church mentorship. In 2004, he co-founded Grace Community Church in San Antonio, Texas, serving as lead pastor and growing it to emphasize expository preaching and biblical counseling. Conway joined I’ll Be Honest ministries in 2008, producing thousands of online sermons and videos, reaching millions globally with a focus on repentance, holiness, and true conversion. He authored articles but no major books, prioritizing free digital content. Married to Ruby since 2003, they have five children. His teaching, often addressing modern church complacency, draws from Puritan and Reformed influences like Paul Washer, with whom he partners. Conway’s words, “True faith costs everything, but it gains Christ,” encapsulate his call to radical discipleship. His global outreach, including missions in Mexico and India, continues to shape evangelical thought through conferences and media.

Sermon Transcription
Throughout all of history, most men do not hear a clear presentation of the Gospel. In all of history, most men miss Heaven. You know it's true. There are people in this room that are going to perish. You know it's true. I'm saying this because look, if God has not only shown you all the kindnesses of creation, but He's in addition shown you the kindness to allow you to hear the Gospel and hear the truth and know that Jesus Christ died on that cross to save sinners just like you and me. To save even the chief of sinners. Why would God want us to know that God has saved the chief of sinners? Why would God want us to know that He saved the thief on the cross? Why would God want us to specifically know that Mary Magdalene had seven demons? You ever think about why these things are specifically told to us? They're told to us so that you might see how bad the people are that God saves. And if you've had this kindness, that God has not only given you all this light of creation, all the light of His kindness, but in light of all that, in addition to all that, on top of it, you've been allowed to hear the truth. Come, flee to Him at once. Listen, I remember my stepdad. My stepdad came down to Texas. And I wanted him to hear the truth. And he sat under Pat Horner out at Community Baptist Church. I was out there then. He came and he heard me preach. I forget if at a nursing home I know he heard me preach. Possibly at Floresville. I don't remember that. But he was able to sit under the preaching several times. I think I had evangelized my dad. I'd spoke to my dad. But I think that was the most truth he ever got in his life. I know that was the first time he ever sat under a good and solid sermon that had truth in it. That was actually preached by one of God's messengers. He refused it. Even when I was speaking at the nursing home, he was rebelling against it. He was rejecting it. And he no more than went back to Michigan. He got cancer. He had a massive heart attack. It was amazing. He had a heart attack. Then he had a stroke. Then he got cancer. Then he died. And brethren, folks, when you hear the truth, there's a real hell out there. And Jesus, by way of His ambassadors, is telling you, escape that place at all costs. Your soul, what will you give in exchange for your soul? You'll give everything. Why will you play? Look, don't wait until the flames overflow you to realize, okay, okay, now I'll give everything in exchange for it. Don't wait until then. It's too late. He speaks to you now while you have life. Don't, don't, listen, do not leave this place tonight if you are lost and run back to your sin. It is suicidal. Don't do it. You've heard the truth. Often times when people hear the truth and they harden themselves, God will see to it that they get hardened. And many times when you harden yourself against the truth, it's all over. You won't get to hear it again. You'll be like my stepdad. The next thing, you'll be in the grave. I don't remember who it was. They told the story about the two young men. They had girlfriends that went to church. Their girlfriends, their parents made them go to church. Two guys showed up to get the girls and the preacher saw them come in. They stood there in the back waiting for the service to get over and he made a beeline to them and went back and began to talk to them. And they rejected and they refused. And one of those young men died right away after that. We sought to proclaim truth to a prostitute who came and lived with us and she rejected it and died after that. It was a man that joined our church. He was a heroin addict and he went back to his heroin after he'd heard the truth. And God took his life. It was a young man. He joined this church. Exposed to a lot of truth. He went back to his coke. God took his life. It was a prostitute by the name of Zebedee. She was exposed to the truth in this church in our early days. God took her life. It was a man from one of the local churches that had us come preach and he tried to pull a scam on us. But we preached truth to him. He rejected it. God took his life. He was young. Brethren, folks, do not go out the door tonight and go back to your sin. This could very well be from God that it's your last time. It's it. It's over. It's done. And what's been described, you may in unbelief go back to your sin right now, but you will believe it one day. The sad thing is, it's going to take you being plunged into it to realize how valuable your soul was. How bad your sin was. How foolish you are to reject. Do you realize the place was made for the devil and his angels and they don't get any chance. They don't get the opportunity to repent. Can you imagine those demons in hell screaming at you? You had the truth set before you. You had the opportunity. You had the opportunity we never had. You had the opportunity to be in heaven and to have Christ and to walk with God and to live forever. And you chose drugs, alcohol, sex, party and money, greed, sports, fame and just want to do life your own way. I don't want to feed any hungry people. I want to live for me. Just do it your way. What a fool if that's what you would do. Listen, there are people in here that love their sin. I'm telling you, do not go out the door without crying out to the Lord, confessing your sin, calling on Him to save you from it. Don't go! There's a good possibility you will never come back again. Some of you. Amen. And we're dismissed. Amen.
