Today, we have the threat of cross-contamination between the ways of God and the ways of the world, just as it was threatening the church where Timothy was Paul’s chosen leader.

Sermon Title: Help Wanted – Man of God Text: 1 Timothy 3 Date: August 24, 2003 Context of Scripture: It only stands to reason that since we dealt with the issue of women in the ministry last times we looked at Paul’s letter to Pastor Timothy, we should look at what is required of the men.

Paul sets before us a worthy goal-which most of us will work on for a lifetime

It’s interesting that Paul uses four negative expressions to specify how the godly leader must live. Some things simply must not be present in his life. Those four are counter-balanced by one positive characteristic. 1. Not violent 1 Timothy 3:3 I like the King James rendering-"Not a striker." ...read more

Paul sets before us a worthy goal-which most of us will work on for a lifetime

1. Above reproach 1 Timothy 3:2 This phrase serves as a general summary of all the character qualities a leader should have. The Greek word describes a garment without any "folds."

1. Not a new convert 1 Timothy 3:6 The word for "new convert" is neofuton-from which we get the English word "neophyte." It literally means "new plant." Don’t put a "new plant" in a position of leadership. "New plants" need nurturing, they need fertilizer, they need someone to pull the weeds ...read more

Paul sets before us a worthy goal-which most of us will work on for a lifetime.

Churches suffer when this category is ignored or downplayed. Paul listed three very specific requirements concerning a leader’s family life. We ignore them at our own peril. 1.

This final category touches the leader in his relationship to alcohol and money-two areas of perennial tempta-tion. Don’t overlook God’s Word on these crucial points! If you do, you will regret it later. 1. Not given to drunkenness 1 Tim 3:3; Titus 1:7 Literally this phrase means "not ...read more

What makes good leadership material? It might surprise you that it’s not the strong, dictatorial man-in-charge, but is someone who models the gentle and giving spirit of Jesus.

Timothy found himself in a pickle. False teachers had come in and were fomenting dissent among the men and using freedoms in Christ to pull women off into their deception and rebellion. Some of these men were leaders in the church. He needed a strong hand to put this troubled church back on track ...read more
