    In chapter 4. Paul warns for the coming apostasy in the church. He talks about three classes of ministers: good ministers with persuasive preaching, godly ministers who practiced what they preached, and growing ministers who were making notable progress for the kingdom of God.

    Subject: Godly Suggestions for Growing Ministers Text: 1 Timothy 4:12-16 “Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. 12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young.

    The Rejection Tour

    The Christian has to face rejection if he is serious about following Jesus. Oftentime, this rejection comes from family and friends.

    The Rejection Tour Luke 9:51-62 No one likes rejection. This is especially true when your purpose is to be helpful. Rejection from your enemies is bad enough. at least you can rationalize that this is your enemy; therefore, it is a badge of honor rather than shame. Rejection can come in many ...read more

    Paul instructs the elder in broad strokes to exert himself to excel. In these instructions is a pattern for all who pursue the Master if they will honour Him.

    God saved Israel from Egypt so that they may worship in truth, not in the way of Egypt or of the Canaanites.

    Today, I just want to focus on the last verse, verse 10 “But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived among the Ephraimites to this day, but 1they have been forced to work as slaves.” The last verse of the chapter tells us that the tribe of Ephraim ...read more

     | 5,343 views

    God charges the church with the responsibility to avoid those who cause division and create obstacles. It is the responsibility of the entire assembly, and not that of the elders alone.

    “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve.” ...read more

    Women and men are spiritually equal before the Lord; however, women are debarred from occupying the role of elder within the congregation of the Lord.

    “Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

    In James 5:13-16a, the brother of our Lord teaches us how the Christian ought to respond in times of trouble, happiness, sickness, and sin.

    Scripture James is the brother of our Lord Jesus. Since Jesus was Mary’s firstborn child (Luke 2:7), James was obviously a younger brother. In fact, it is likely that James was the second-oldest of the five sons that Mary had (cf. Mark 6:3). James eventually came to believe that Jesus was in fact ...read more
