This week, our church will be filled with the sounds of CHILDREN … laughing, crying, yelling, eating, praying, singing … V.B.S. is always an exciting time. It ...read more

    In Making decisions we need to ask ourselves 5 questions before we decide

    FIVE BIBLICAL STEPS WHEN MAKING A DECISION THAT WILL PLEASE THE LORD ASK YOURSELF 1. DOES IT VIOLATE CLEAR TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE? (2 TIM3:16,17) A. The Bible is Inspired. B. The Bible is Instructive. C. The Bible is Intrusive. 2. DOES IT CAUSE MY BROTHER TO STUMBLE IN HIS FAITH? (1 ...read more

    Knowing that we cannot make excuses before God and establish our relationship with Him

    GETTING RID OF EXCUSES AND ESTABLISHING PRIORITIES Mat. 16:24-26 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. 26 What ...read more

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

    Paul sets before us a worthy goal-which most of us will work on for a lifetime and still not completely reach. We ought to take this list seriously but also graciously and realistically. I. The Overlooked Ingredient 1 Timothy 3:1 "Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being ...read more

    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%! We’re not looking for perfection, but rather solid evidence of growth in each area. The Leader’s Temperament 1. ...read more

    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." When applied to personal character, it means that leader must be free from any secret or hidden pockets of sins. ...read more

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

     | 3,266 views

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

    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

    Seeing The Treasure In Others

    Contributed by Timothy Schultz on Oct 27, 2003
    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,870 views

    Perhaps our greatest ministry is to unlock the treasure in others. Preached before a seminary audience.

    If an intruder broke into my house, there are actually a few furniture items that I might help him carry out to his truck, like the bed and dresser in the guest room. I might suggest that he take not one, but two of the hand-me-down chairs I have accumulated. But if he glanced across the room and ...read more

     | 27,028 views

    This is sermon one of seven on the value of being broken before God. This sermon is a study of Job.

    In one day Job lost everything. He lost all his material goods first. Job 1: 14 a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 15 and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has ...read more

     | 45,945 views

    Before you judge someone else you had better judge yourself first.

    Sweep Around Your Own Front Door… Matthew 7:1-5 1 Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that ...read more
