How Healthy Congregations Regard Their Pastor (1 Tim. 5:17-25)
Everything rises and falls on leadership. Due to the precious nature of the Church being Christ's bride, trustworthy leaders should be joyfully supported, while immoral leaders must be strongly and immediately disciplined.
Keys to Caring for Church Family (1 Tim. 5:1-15)
How we see people impacts how we treat people, and in this compelling chapter Paul reminds Timothy that the church is a "family", a large group of fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers, requiring each member to care for others accordingly.

Your Checklist for Choosing a Pastor (1 Tim. 3:1-7)
Far too many evangelicals follow a pastor based on his popularity, magnetism, humor, business acumen, or political ties.

Rather, as we will see in this sermon, they should follow leaders based on 15-traits of spiritual ministry set forth by God.
You'll Never Retreat if You Advance On Your Knees (1 Timothy 2:1-7)
Encouraging his timid young protege, Paul reminds Timothy that the first sign of a healthy church will be the depth and breadth of people's prayer life; specifically, in how they share the desire of God to save people from all walks of life saved, ushering them into the family of God.
Hard Preaching Makes Soft Hearts (1 Timothy 1)
