I researched about 1 and 2 Timothy. The theme of Timothy is about God, lifestyle and money, and Paul tells us a lot of these three topics. Paul reminds us that we should pray about the things we are worrying about. We need to share good things with others, don’t be selfish. God wants us to give to those in need through fundraisers, charities, donations. 1 Timothy states that we should take hold of eternal life and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Money can’t
Introduction St Paul who was originally called Saul was the most important figure in the development of christianity. It is believed he was born around 10 C.E in Tarsus (Turkey). Paul persecuted christians but after he got hit by a light from the sky he was blinded but Jesus spoke to him saying "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" Saul said, "Who are You, Lord?" And the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." After Paul spoke to jesus
book. This read has twenty chapters, recorded in short story form that packed a wallop of truth and wisdom. Ravenhill holds nothing back. If you are a soft (lazy) Christian, look out for the comfort zone will have a new meaning for direct. The end is near and we have little time for, “…dead men teaching, dead sermons to too many dead people.” I believe like Ravenhill that soul hot preaching is necessary for people to get off the people pleasing Novocain and start to feel the burn of the Holy Spirit
challenge the Apostle Paul faced to preach the Gospel and the relationship between Jews and Gentiles. During the times that Romans was written, Rome was the epicenter of the ancient world and contained a myriad of subcultures. One of the more recognizable verses in Romans; “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16), proves Paul’s devotion his mission that everyone preach the Gospel to everyone
also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.” In the very beginning the first thing I noticed was that it states, before the confrontation, that Paul was filled
to Timothy was written by the Apostle Paul approximately A.D 67 shortly before the he was put to death by a Roman executioner. This letter is a personal letter from Paul to Timothy his young pastor. I love the book of 2 Timothy because of the personal advice shared in it. You and I are different from Timothy but we share a lot of common things. And it is from this common ground that we can glean much needed spiritual insight for our lives from this book. Paul was so happy to have heard testimonies
I answered them in a question. Can you be happy doing anything else? I believe the scripture to be inerrant and perfect and the complete word of God. I will preach it, teach it and share in until the day I take my last breath of life on this earth. I have studied under many pastors who preached the
disciples that he must “go away,” so that he can send the Helper (John 16:7), who will work in the lives of the believers, by guiding them, ministering to them and do good work in their lives. In the life of a Pastor, the Holy Spirit is an important ingredient if not the main ingredient of the sermon. The role of the pastor is sometimes hard to define because they do more than preach on Sunday mornings. They need to minister to the congregation in all fashions. Like, marital
and homosexuality as sin are scoffed at, laughed at, labeled as intolerant, and even pushed out by media blitz or ignoring the facts or not giving Christians opportunity to voice their opinion. When considering a “call” to ministry, let me encourage you to not dichotomize too sharply between the secular and sacred. God wants to use all kinds of vocations to both “disciple the nations” ( Matt. 28:19 ) and be salt and light in the culture ( Matthew 5:13-16) and “have dominion and manage the earth” (Genesis
what God has to say. I have been told I have to many scripture in my sermons. I do not think they want know what God has to say but what I have to say concerning the topic. I bet if I spoke like Joel Osteen they would listen more and not complain about how many scriptures I referenced. Since I do not sound like him, i need to continue to study God's Word to have the ability to orate God's message the way that God would have me to. We will not please everyone when we speak the oracles of God. "If
