How To Be A Great Helper

For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. Matthew 16:25

TO BE A GREAT HELPER

·         You Must First Be [A DISCIPLE OF JESUS]

Paul went on also to Derbe and to Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek. 2 He was well spoken of by the believers in Lystra and Iconium. Acts 16:1-2

·         You Need to Be [POSTIVE ABOUT GOD’S PEOPLE]

6 But Timothy has just now come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love. He has told us also that you always remember us kindly and long to see us—just as we long to see you. 7 For this reason, brothers and sisters, during all our distress and persecution we have been encouraged about you through your faith. 1 Thessalonians 3:6-7

·         You Need to Be [WILLING TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS]

16 I appeal to you, then, be imitators of me. 17 For this reason I sent you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, as I teach them everywhere in every church. 1 Corinthians 4:16-17

·         You Need to Be [ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE]

Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and had him circumcised because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4 As they went from town to town, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. 5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in numbers daily. Acts 16:3-5

·         You Need to Be [CONCERNED FOR PEOPLES WELFARE]

19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may be cheered by news of you. 20 I have no one like him who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 All of them are seeking their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But Timothy’s worth you know, how like a son with a father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. Philippians 2:19-22
