As we continue with Paul’s brief, but rich confession found in 1 Timothy 3:14-16, we come to the witness of Christ. The angels and the ambassadors of God among men serve as some of the primary witnesses of Christ. In this sermon we look at these witnesses and how they pointed to Christ throughout redemptive history up to the present day.

In Paul’s letter to Timothy he mentions that together we confess the mystery of godliness in 3:14-16 and then goes on to describe some of the essential confessions about the person and work of Christ. In this sermon we begin to look at the description of Jesus that Paul gives.

Knowing who we are and what we are called to do is essential in any institution, but especially for the Church of Jesus Christ! In this sermon we consider Paul’s brief, but profound, description of the churches identity and mission.

In this sermon we continue our study of the office of Deacon as described in 1 Timothy 3:8-13. We consider the quality of his character, the quality of his home and the quality of his doctrine.

In this sermon we begin to look at the office of Deacon as Paul lays it out in 1 Timothy 3:8-13. We look at it’s unique relationship to the office of elder and the the qualifications that Paul gives for it as well.

In this sermon we continue our study in 1 Timothy 3 on the topic of the Office of Overseer.

While Paul states a number of qualification the overseer and the deacon must posses, he also names a number that they must not posses! In this sermon we look at the first three pitfalls that the leader must avoid, namely drunkenness, violence and quarrelling.

In this sermon we consider the qualification of good home management and even more specifically of submissive children. The home is one of the most telling evidences of a man who is walking in obedience to Christ and capable to properly care for the household of God. We consider what is implied in the words “manage well” and also take some time to consider the parallel passage in Titus 1:6.

In this sermon we focus in on the quality that makes the office of overseer/pastor/elder really unique from that of a deacon or other members within the church. The overseer must be able to teach, and we look at the parallel passage in Titus 1 to consider further what Paul means by that statement.

Hospitality is something that is not very common in our western culture, and yet as followers of Jesus Christ we are called to show love and kindness to one another as God has so graciously shown mercy to us who were once strangers to His grace.
