SERMON NOTES

Lead by Example
I Timothy 4:12 (NKJV)
“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
‭‭‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
I. Be committed
 Timothy was following the example that was being shown to him by Paul.
 The churches were following the example they had been shown, and committed themselves to the instructions they had been taught. (Acts 1:8), John 13:34-35, Matthew 28:19-20
II. Leadership Characteristics
 They dedicated themselves, different from casually following. I Timothy 3:1-13
 We need to be committed to the Word of God,
III. Fellowship (Love Relationship)
 Paul makes this a point to address Phil. 1:1-8. I Timothy 1:18-20
 Hymns “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go ”, Make Me A Servant, Songs: If we are the body.” Casting Crowns
 Prayer: They truly prayed for one another. They were willing to stop what they were doing and take matters before the throne.
 They enjoyed being around one another. It was never a chore for them to be around one another.
IV. Stand firm & Be Courageous
 Paul is addressing Timothy with the message to stand firm.
 Listen to this instruction that God gives to Joshua 1:1-9
V. True Worshipers
 They enjoyed being with one another. They were not being superficial with their worship. Their was intent behind what they were doing.
 Do we sometimes go through the motions in our time of worship?
 Hear what Paul instructs of Timothy again in 1:18-20.
 2 Tim. 2:2 (Faithful workers)
 Hear these words from the (Deut. 6:4-9)
VI. The End Result
• They loved being with one another! They love worshipping together! They loved eating together! They prayed for one another!
• These are blueprints to how as a church we can witness to our community. This is a blueprint to the younger members within the church. If you are wanting to see change happen within the body of Christ ask where you can be of help. It should never be boring.
• They will become model people in the community. They were a joy to be around. Can that be said of us? Can that be said of you?
• If you want the opportunity to experience the things that are being talked about here, then you’re in luck!
• Choose Jesus today! (Romans 10:14-15)
