Current Sermon Series
We will review our five core values over the next several Sundays: Harvest; Equipping Leaders; Love; Prayer; and Stewardship. These are our H.E.L.P.S.!
Today’s Bible Life Lesson
Title: Equipping those Around Us.
Text: 2 Timothy 2:1-7
Thread: Our Core Values are “H.E.L.P.S.”
Tale: Apostle Paul challenges his protégé Timothy to develop other leaders to work in the kingdom of God.
Thesis: A leader must have a strong relationship with God; share his knowledge with reliable believers; and focus on developing in them these three key qualities of leadership: endurance, honesty, and servanthood.
Thot 1: The Deepening Relationship with the Lord (1).
a. The Foundation of His Grace is Vital for Us
b. The Flourishing in His Grace is Visible in Us
Thot 2: The Depositing Regularly into the Laity (2).
a. The Repository of Truth from Apostolic Leaders
b. The Responsibility to Train Apprenticed Learners
Thot 3: The Depictions Reflecting Leadership (3-7).
a. The Combatant who Endures Hardships
b. The Competitor who Endeavors Honestly
c. The Cultivator who Endows Helpfully
Transformation: I will seek out a faithful believer that I can mentor as an emerging leader for Jesus; who will guide others in the future to do the same.
February is Stewardship Emphasis Month
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work (2 Corinthians 6-8).
From the treasure that God has entrusted to us, let us commit to worship Him and bless His church with our tithes (i.e., 10% of our income) and also give generously in all offerings. Thank you so much!
