Above Reproach: Sober-minded (1 Timothy 3:2)
Take the time to be sober-minded—to be temperate, vigilant, and clear. Doing so is not optional. It’s a “must.”
Above Reproach: Husband of One Wife (1 Timothy 3:2)
Because this task is noble, we must be above reproach regarding our marriages.
A Noble Task (1 Timothy 3:1)
Pastor, the work you will do this week is not only work you must do; it’s work you get to do.
What is Proper (1 Timothy 2:8-15)
This week let’s give more thought to “how one ought to behave in the household of God” (1 Timothy 3:15).
This Charge I Entrust to You (1 Timothy 1:18-20)
Pastors stand in a long, continuing line of those entrusted with a noble fight.
Gratitude, Humility, and Worship (1 Timothy 1:12-17)
When we slip into entitlement and pride, we slip out of worship. When we reset our attitudes to gratitude and humility, worship becomes possible again.
In Accordance with the Gospel (1 Timothy 1:8-11)
Beware of legalism. Remember that you are justified by what Jesus has done for you, not your rule-keeping, good deeds, or pastoral performance.
Our Charge (1 Timothy 1:5)
Pastor, like Paul and Timothy, you operate as one charged by God.
