Now and Later

Opener: YouTube is the modern version of “how to”

Big Idea: We are called to live a life worthy of the Gospel (Paul gives two examples.)

Timothy ()

Living out what Paul was teaching

Jesus before his own needs

A commitment to the Gospel

No man is an island

Paul needed Timothy still

We need people in our lives

Epaphroditus ()

Three distinct relationships

Brother

Worker

Soilder

Two more defining titles

Your messenger

My minister

Willing to risk his life for the gospel

Example Bill Larson

Us

Are you living as an example?

Who are your examples?

Honor them.

Closing: We are called to live a life worthy of gospel

Question: Examine your testimony

We need the older generation to show us what it looks like to be sold out for Jesus

We can learn the rest from YouTube

The younger generation needs to search out the older generation and learn from them
