Living in the Light of the Truth

When I was a kid in a Christian school, as part of the curriculum I had to memorize different Bible verses. And one of those verse was Ephesians 4:25 – which says (in the Old King James Version) “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor:” And so this morning I want to start off by doing just that. I want everyone to turn to your neighbor who’s sitting beside you and I want you to “speak every man truth to your neighbor.” Tell them at least one thing about yourself that is 100% absolutely true.

Well, this morning we are going to be looking at a passage in 1 Timothy that talks about truth and how we are to live in light of that truth. We are in the bottom part of chapter 3 of first Timothy as we look at our responsibilities as Christians in this Call of Duty sermon series. So why don’t we pray together and then get started at verse 14.

Taking Care of Our Family

This morning we’re tackling a fairly large portion of Scripture – 27 verses in all. On average, we’ve usually been looking at about 8 verses on any given Sunday. So why such a huge portion today? The reason I decided to preach on all 27 verses is because all of these verses revolve around a single theme, although at first glance, you may not think so. Our sermon title for today is “Taking Care of the Family” because that’s exactly what Paul is telling us to in this passage today. Over the past month or so, we’ve been looking in 1 Timothy at our responsibilities as Christians – our “Call of Duty” if you will. And in these 27 verses, Paul lays out for Timothy and us, exactly what our responsibilities are towards others in our family – both our physical family and our spiritual family.

Now since we’ve already heard the whole passage once as read by our different readers, I won’t go through the whole thing again now. But I’ll try to hit some key verses and dig out four main lessons and then I’ll leave you to work through the rest this week at home.
