1st Timothy - Fight the Good Fight - Pastor Ovi

To persevere, the man of God has to:

1. Flee worldliness

2. Pursue righteousness

3. Will fight for the faith

4. Take hold of eternal life

 

Motivators:

1. God’s presence

2. Christ’s coming

3. God’s sovereignty

 

Some questions to consider:

- Is proper theology and sound doctrine important and practical
to you?
- What need do you have, what problem do you face, that cannot
be met by getting a bigger vision of the Almighty God?
- Is your goal to live a life of integrity, but you’re feeling pressure
to compromise your testimony?

1st Timothy - Open Hands - Pastor Lucas

Belief in alternate doctrines produces:

 

1. A conceited mind

2. Parasitic treatment of others

3. A love of money

 

The antidote is found in sound doctrine, embracing Godliness, and contentment.

1st Timothy - Above Reproach - Pastor Ovi

1. It’s better to appoint no one than to appoint the wrong one

2. True character is revealed in time

3. Selective obedience is not obedience

4. Disrespectful Christians dishonor the Gospel

5. Good works open the door for the good news of the Gospel and people are saved

1st Timothy - Honor and Authority - Pastor Ovi

1. How should we treat leaders that do well?

- Honor the leader

- Follow the leader

 

2. How should we treat leaders that have fallen?

- 2 errors that churches make: intentional ignorance & overreaction

- We rebuke persistent and unrepentant sin

 

3. Follow the Leader, the Good Shepard Jesus Christ

1st Timothy - Family Matters - Pastor Ovi

You can unfriend someone, but you can’t unfamily someone.

 

We are family:

 

- We spend time together

- We don’t give up on each other

- The real widows

- You are never too old to honor your parents

- The widows with family

- The young widows

the most
