Be an Example!
Intro: Please open your Bibles to .
We’ll read the verse and then pray.
If God has called you to preach say amen.
This verse was written to a preacher, by a preacher.
It is apparent that Timothy had some apprehension about pastoring and preaching because of his age, but Paul encouraged him to not be afraid or held back by it.
Paul taught Timothy that if you live what you preach, you can preach it to anyone.
You can preach it to young or old and it will carry the same effect.
Paul gives Timothy 6 areas to be an example in.
I. Word.
A. Speak the right things.
Stop using every new word you hear.
Keep your words above reproach.
A good English teach of mine taught me that there are penny words, nickel words, dime words, quarter words, and dollar words.
You must use the words that make the most sense (cents).
B. Are your words worth repeating?
C. Our words are supposed to be kind.
Our words are to have some grace and Christianity (salt) to them.
Be an example!
II.
Conversation.
A. Lifestyle — How do you live?
Do your co-workers know you are a Christian?
B. Would other Believers say you live like a real or genuine Christian, or are you just the run of the mill church member?
Be an example.
C. , , , , ,
D. Live your life for Jesus Christ!
Be an example!
E. Do you live for the now and temporal or do you live for the future and eternal?
F. Your life is an investment, invest in things that will last.
G. Are you living for video games?
Is that an example?
Are you living for sports (Watching or playing)?
Are you living for your girlfriend?
Are you living for your secular job?
None of these are bad, except for when they overshadow your living for Christ.
III.
Charity.
A. , , , — Your love will affect your lifestyle.
B. Is your love an example that others would be right to follow, or would we have much strife if everyone had the same amount of love you do?
C. Do the love exercise — Compare with .
D. The ministry is loving people, love is an action, not a feeling.
E.
You can’t do ministry without love!
F. Be the preacher that everyone knows he loves them.
Be an example!
IV.
Spirit.
A. Are you spiritual?
B. — Apollos had great spirit even when he didn’t know much, but after he was taught he did much for Christ.
28
C.
You must be spiritual to have life and peace!
D. The Spirit will give passion.
E. Your focus and investment will give passion.
F. Who will pray harder and more fervently?
The father whose daughter is dying before his eyes as they are rushing to the hospital or the man who wants to find a good deal on a second car?
The father is more invested!
G. Jesus had his passion the Bible says.
H. Get invested in this thing; be spiritual!
Be an example!
V. Faith.
A. If your faith real?
B. If your faith something worth talking about?
Paul’s was.
Peter’s was.
The Centurion’s was.
C. Is your faith proven?
D. Is your faith being tested?
If your faith isn’t being tested, and you haven’t recently come out a test, then something is wrong?
Have a faith check.
Check it with God’s Word.
Rom.
10:17
E. Is your faith something that others notice?
F. Do you have “normal” faith?
I don’t want a normal faith, I don’t want to be a normal Christian, I don’t want to live a normal life!
I want to live a changed life, I want to live a radical life.
I want to live a life that makes other people realize they can have more than a ‘normal’ Christianity, a ‘normal’ faith!
G. Have a faith worthy of being an example!
VI.
Purity.
A. We are down on this one, but we can’t lose it!
B. Is your life a worthy example of purity?
(Private and public)
C. Guys, how are you doing with your cellphone?
Pornography has never and will never be ok, it is vile and the opposite of purity.
It is easier than ever to make ourselves impure which is why it is more important than ever that we be and stay pure.
D. We are to keep ourselves pure, be simple concerning evil the Bible says.
,
E. Water can be purified after it is polluted, so can you.
,
One way is through heat, water is cleaned by heat!
This is God working on us.
(Boiling)
Another way is through a filter, it will catch whatever is dirty and remove it from the water.
Poor yourself through the filter of God’s Word, see what fits and what doesn’t!
Another way of cleansing is by dilution, the more water there is than the pollutant, then the better it will get.
To do this you need a LOT of water, you need a LOT of God’s Word being put into you.
F. Be an example!
Closing: All of this isn’t done in a prideful manner or for the eyes of men, but it is our obligation at the command of God through Paul.
If you are preacher, this applies to you!
If you are a Christian, this applies to you!
If you want to make it in the ministry, you must apply this to you! Be an example!
