1 Timothy 2:1-15 |
exposition, worship
Pastor Gary Combs continues the sermon series “Entrusted: An Exposition of 1 Timothy” with this message from chapter 2. In the apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he entrusted him with clear instructions on how to lead worship services in the church at Ephesus. We can recognize that as God’s family, His household, we are entrusted with these same instructions for worship. The text gives five instructions to those entrusted with how to worship in God’s household. These instructions address how we should pray, share the gospel, and men’s and women’s roles in worship.

exposition, gospel
As we continue through the book of 1 Timothy, Pastor Gary Combs helps us understand the message of grace that Paul was entrusting to Timothy – that Christ came to save sinners. When we are entrusted with that same gospel, we can continue to be thankful for God’s grace to us, we can allow ourselves to be trophies of grace put on display to show God’s glory, and we can contend for the gospel by staying true to the teaching from the Bible.

This message focuses on the four aspects of humanity, our heart, soul, mind and strength, that we are to fully use in our love of God and also of others. These four aspects might be viewed through the lens of human personality. The study of personality is helpful in understanding our unique differences and how we need each other. It helps us to show grace to one another. It also refines our search for meaning as we align our work with our SHAPE.
