Grow: How to Be An Example Even if You Are Young | 1 Timothy 4:11-12
From Turn Evangelism · 48:14
Show by T. S. Myers
Paul says to Timothy: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young..." Here, Timothy, an associate of an apostle, was left in a hard situation to set the church in Ephesus in order and to oppose false teaching. Paul gave him a charge: stay. There was unfinished work in Ephesus, and Timothy was entrusted with setting God’s household in order. Here we find Paul giving Timothy authority, but in the midst of his situation, Paul also tells Timothy not to make youth a factor. But how was Timothy to obey Paul here? Not through arrogance but through example. Paul commands Timothy to set an example for the congregation “in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” They were to follow Timothy as he followed Christ. Pastor Thomas asks, if you were followed around for a month, would people get closer to Christ or further away from him? Our example matters. If this message impacted your life, let us know.
