When I think of this question… really … deep down, what is a God called preacher really about?
Paul shows us in his own example to the Thessalonian Church what bold but humble shepherding looks like.
You say “Well, I’m not a preacher so this doesn’t apply.”
But it does!
You have a pastor… here’s the chance to see if his life and ministry parallel the life of Paul.
Here is a chance to remind yourself of what a good shepherd values, and what he prioritizes.
Here’s the chance to observe from the Scripture what kind of man should be followed as he leads and to ask yourself if you are dug at Riddles Bend to follow as God leads.
I’m reminded of what Paul would eventually tell his current traveling companion Timothy.
kairos or akarios
Paul Preached with deliberate boldness
There were noticeable results.
(The masses didn’t come to Christ, but the SOME did)
There was ongoing opposition.
(Instead of causing Paul to back down, he dug in.
Note: He wasn’t taking a stand in order to keep some God and Country Patriotism… He was standing for Gospel truth, and looking to make disciples)
There was Gospel simplicity.
No mixture of truth and error, pure and impure, no deception about the message or the messenger.
Paul served with focused motivation
Positively, his focus was on pleasing God, because God had approved Him for the mission, and entrusted him with the Gospel.
Negatively, his focus was not on
pleasing people so he did not
use flattering speech (This word is used only here in the Bible… fawning over someone.)
have greedy motives.. pretext… pretending one thing in order to get a benefit.connection-
fawn over someone with money, in order to gain benefit.
seeking his own glory-We all know glory hogs in any walk of life, but Paul wanted to remind the Thessalanicans that he had not been that way.
Paul served with relentless motivation
1.
He sought to not be a burden an any way.
7 and 9. Paul worked a secular job as he started this church (again no one could charge that he was in it for the money).
He did whatever it took.
A. This is descriptive..
And often is commendable depending on the circumstances.
B. This is not prescriptive, in other words this is not a commanded pattern for all ministers in all places. 1 Corinthians 9.14
2.
He sought to not just share Gospel preaching, but to share his very life out of love.
verse 8
3.
He sought to conduct himself honorably.
10
4.
He sought to nurture them like a father would a child.
