Part two of Don’t Frighten Timothy outline.
DON’T FRIGHTEN TIMOTHY – Pt. 2
Pastor Steve
What happened to your DREAM?
When Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am. 11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he may return to me. I am expecting him along with the brothers. – 1 Corinthians 16:10
The RARITY of Timothy – “if Timothy comes.”
The NEED of Timothy – “see to it”.
The TIMIDITY of Timothy – “see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you.”
The VALUE of Timothy – “for he is carrying on the work of the Lord, just as I am.”
The RESISTANCE and COMPLACENCY Timothy receives – “No one, then, should treat him with contempt”.
How should you handle your Timothy?
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. – 1 Timothy 4:12
How to see your Timothy flourish.
1. In Speech
2. In Life
3. In Love
4. In Faith
5. In Purity
The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized during the lifetime of the opportunity.
2 Timothy 4:14 – Do not neglect your gift”
