Examine the Teacher’s Teaching   If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching 4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5 and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have bee...

Honor Your Boss   All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered.           1 Timothy 6:1   Honor your Christian Boss Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear...

Godly women desire to minister to others well   9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, 10 and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.         1 Timothy 5:9-10   27 Religion that...

Encourage, build up, and nurture your spiritual family well Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. 3 Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.     1 Timothy 5:1-3 Rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you. Titus 2:15   15 ...

In order to be healthy spiritually we must eat godly food   6 If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.         1 Timothy 4:6-7   …nourished on the truths...

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.” John 14:6   Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.  John 17:17    To avoid apostasy we have to see apostasy for what it is: Satan’s Goal for Every Believer   The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons...

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.     1 Corinthians 15:14.    On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenl...

Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by...

Week 9 God's Plan for our church.

Pastors are to follow an inner conviction that leads them to serve. Pastors must be above reproach Pastors have to be a “One woman man” Pastors must be temperate Pastors must self-controlled Pastors must be respectable Pastors must be hospitable Pastors have to be able to teach Pastors can’t be drunks Pastors must not be violent men but gentlemen Pastors cannot be quarrelsome P...

I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13&n...

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the tr...

Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.  Among them are Hymenaeusand Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not...
