1 Timothy

1 Timothy

“If Jesus Is a Deacon…”

For the past couple of weeks, we have been speaking about church leadership.  Today we are finishing up 1 Timothy 3 and focusing specifically on the deacon and the role/responsibility of such a person within the church.

“Church Leadership & Qualities – A Sermon Not Just for the Church Board” (Part 1)

Paul spells out the qualifications for elders & deacons in 1 Timothy 3.  What he lists are valuable qualities that we should use as we select men for leadership.  What Timothy lists though aren’t just qualifications for church leadership though, but what is expected really (in regard to most of the qualities) of all of us as believers.  Don’t be quite to think 1 Timothy 3 is for someone else if you aren’t in leadership.  It’s for you too.

“Culture vs Truth – God’s Blueprint in the Church”

Our culture and the Bible have two very different viewpoints on the blueprint of the Church and the order of leadership.  In 1 Timothy 2, we find the answer to the question–what’s the role of women in the church?  Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll touch the other side of that regarding the role and responsibility of men in the church.

“Let Us Pray”

Reminding us as a church of the importance of praying not just for our own needs of that of our local body but also for those in leadership and authority and really for all people.
