     | 6,995 views

    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

    Now, we will discuss the qualities of spiritual leadership in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. Don’t be discouraged as you work through this list. No one meets these qualifications 100%!

    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."

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

    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."

    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. Husband of one wife 1 Timothy 3:2 Unfortunately this qualification has been so wrapped up in controversy that we have ...read more

    The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in ...read more
