In Matthew 28:1–10, the resurrection of Jesus is not just good news—it’s life-changing news that demands a response. When the women arrive at the tomb, they are met with an angelic announcement: “He is not here; He has risen.” This moment shifts everything. Fear turns to joy, doubt turns to worship, and silence turns into urgency as they are sent to go and tell others. The resurrection isn’t just something to believe—it’s something that calls us to respond with faith, obedience, and boldness. The question is not just “Did it happen?” but “What will you do because it happened?”

In Mark 11, we see three powerful pictures that reveal the heart of the Gospel. The colt – untamed and unused- was transformed when Jesus called for it. The crowd – caught up in religious excitement- missed the true identity of their King, the Christ – the Faithful and True Witness, who entered Jerusalem with one purpose: obedience to the Father and love for you and me.

In 1 Timothy 5:22-25, Paul teaches that we are to affirm elders carefully in the local church. True character is revealed over time, as both sin and virtue eventually come to light. Therefore, we are to wait and assess the character of men before affirming them to leadership in the Church.

In 1 Timothy 5:17-21 Paul teaches us of the importance of honoring faithful pastor-elders by respecting and supporting them. However, if leaders are unfaithful and fall into serious sin, they must be disciplined. This reminds us of the seriousness of sin and the importance of holiness in the church. We are the household of the Holy One who has purchased us by His own blood.

Paul instructs Timothy to treat older men as fathers, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. The tone we use matters because the relationships matter. He then addresses the care of widows, teaching the church that compassion must be paired with wisdom.

In 1 Timothy 4:11-16, the Apostle Paul closes chapter 4 by explaining to Timothy that godly ministry is patterned by godly character — via five areas in particular. Paul also instructs his protege to wholeheartedly progress as a believer & minister of the Gospel by reading, teaching, and exhorting God’s Word. If we are to progress in OUR Christian walk (and truly live out our faith), we must prove it by persistently watching ourselves and our doctrine closely.

In 1 Timothy 4:6-10 we see Paul highlighting the importance of godliness. Christians are to pursue godliness by nourishing themselves with God’s Word, diligently striving to obey its commands, and recognizing the benefit of Godliness. This is all done with our hope set on the living God who has saved us in Christ Jesus.
