The Importance of Being a Light
June 26, 2022 • Troy Neeley • 1 Timothy 4:1–11
When we share our faith with others it is always important to remember some key things: 1) You’re always speaking to those who are hurting 2) Always point to Jesus 3) Don’t criticize, just instruct Often times we tend to share our own perspective, our own ideas, what we have learned, or how we would tackle a particular issue or concern at hand. Those things are ok only in the context of what the Lord says to do or say, but not in themselves as the lead for instruction. In this study let's find out just what the Bible says about "The Importance of Being a Light".

Compelled by a Calling
June 5, 2022 • Troy Neeley • 1 Timothy 3:1–13
Leaders leads. Whether in the world or in the Church, Christ provided us a clear picture of leadership, and who among us is greater than Christ? John 13:14-17 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. Jesus Commissioned Us to Serve, how did he do this? Jesus served the Disciples by washing their feet. You see in God’s economy; the way UP is DOWN. This is an expression of love/leadership, which is in stark contrast with how the World operates. We all have gifts: we may know or not know what they are. As we serve God reveals them to us. Ultimately ask yourself, what really matters—what do I really value. Where do I want to be? With whom would I wish to spend eternity? When we think about how small we are and how great God is, we should respond, “A day in Your courts is better than a thousand A moment with Him is better than an eternity without Him, and because of His grace and mercy, we that call Him Father don’t have to choose.
