April 13th, 2025
“Bible Mysteries"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.”
Is Jesus coming soon? Do the events, industries, and news of today seem to correlate with Biblical revelations and prophecy?
Are we the last generation?
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“All through scripture, God gives us mysteries. Prophecies for us to figure out.”
“I believe the Lord could come back soon. Real, real soon.”
“The people who don’t want to follow him [the antichrist] will be persecuted.”
Bible Verses:
“In the six hundredth year of Noah's life,
in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” Genesis 7:11

April 6th, 2025 - Message of the Week "Storms in Our Life"
April 6th, 2025
“Storms in Our Life”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
"1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:“
There are many, many storms in our lives. Sickness, troubles, financial situations, even literal storms, like we've had recently here in Northern Michigan.
Do you waver in your faith during the hard times in life? Does it increase your faith? Our text today states, "For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. [Verse 6b]
Noah, through the literal flood, was safely delivered. Would going through that be scary and trying? Yes, of course it would. But his faith in God was what he leaned on through those storms.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“Storms of life come and go; through the flood, His love will show."
"It had to be terrible, losing everything you had - but he [Job] was still faithful."

March 30th, 2025 - Message of the Week "Whose Slave Are You?"
March 30th, 2025
“Whose Slave Are You?”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
---------------------------
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
Are you a new creation after accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior? Have you been made new? Our old lives should be put away. Will you stumble and fail? Yes. Paul tells us that the things he would do, he did not; but the things he hated, he did [Romans 7:15]. Our lives should be submitted to God, resisting the devil [James 4:7].
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“But old ways should be behind us, that's for sure."
"But before you were saved, no matter who we were - we were slaves to sin. We were slaves to the devil. Many don't understand that. Number one, we were slaves to self."
"Listen, if we get saved and we turn our life around, God gives us far more and much better. Much better than what we ever expected. Amen?"
"There's a price tag on all sins."
"Walk by new rules, towards new ends, from new principles. Make a new choice of the way. Choose new paths to walk in, new leaders to walk after, new companions to walk with. Old things should pass away, and all things become new. The man is what he was not, does what he did not." - Matthew Henry [source (under section 2, (1.) referring to Romans 6:4 {It is to walk in newness of life, v. 4}]
"Conversion... is separating ourselves from the course and custom of this world, and devoting ourselves to the conduce [according] of the word of God." - Matthew Henry [source (under section II., sentence #6)
Bible Verses:
“For every one that asketh receiveth; and
he that seeketh findeth; and to him that
knocketh it shall be opened.” - Matthew 7:8

March 23rd, 2025 - Message of the Week "Fervent Prayer"
Marcy 23rd, 2025
“Fervent Prayer”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 (A Psalm of David.) The LORD ismy light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
How fervent are your prayers? Do you seek the Lord with your whole heart? Our hearts and minds, as believers, should be to seek after God’s will and purpose for our lives. Not our own desires.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“Did God help him [David]? Oh, yes, He did.”
“God will not do for us what we can do for ourself. But… He will help us.”
“Wishers and wonderers will never make good housekeepers.”
“There are so many wicked, worldly gods that people worship today and it’s sad. It’s so sad.”
“God requires diligence on our part, seeking His face.”
“God will answer according to His will and His timing. Why? Because He knows best.”

thy word is truth.” - John 17:17

March 16th, 2025 - Message of the Week "What Benefit Are We To the Lord?"
March 16th, 2025
“What Benefit Are We To the Lord?"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.”
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior? If you do, wealth, riches, material possessions, at the end of your life - none of that really makes any difference. It's just stuff.
However, if we have fulfilled much of our purpose that God has given us here in this life. That is what matters for eternity.
Make no mistake. God has create you for great purpose. You were meticulously and perfectly made exactly as God wanted you to be made and He has a great purpose for your life.
Pastor explores this in today's message.
Notes & Quotes:
“You hear people say, 'Well there was a whole bunch of authors that wrote the Bible.' Well, in some sense that's true, but God chose them. He chose them."
"Some believe there is a God but deny the Bible is His true, infallible, Holy Word."
"God is purely Holy, Righteous, Pure. We have nothing to offer Him. We really don't. But- because salvation is totally a gift from God. But we are of value to God because He has made it so."
"Salvation is much more than forgiveness of sins... It is being a vital part of God's plan and His purpose. That's what gives us value. Why? Because He wants to use us."
Bible Verses:
"Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn
yourselves from your idols; and turn away your
faces from all your abominations.” - Ezekiel 14:6

March 9th, 2025 - Message of the Week "True Salvation"
March 9th, 2025
“True Salvation"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.”
Do you put things ahead of your relationship with Jesus Christ? God will discipline those in His flock who have idols and things that hinder their walk with Him.
Belief in the Lord Jesus Christ is one step towards a relationship with Him. Paul, in Romans, says [10:13], “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Many places in the Bible warn us to repent and turn away from our idols [Ezekiel 14:6].
The Bible tells us that even the devils believe and tremble [James 2:19]; this is shown in the devils knowing Jesus [Matthew 8:29].
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“If you have no repentance in that (prayer), then the Bible says you become a double child of hell.” [Matthew 23:15]
“When we call upon the Lord that’s when we receive the gift of salvation.”
“Not one of us deserves salvation.”
“I know enough about Heaven to know I’d like to be there.”
“There is none righteous, no, not one.” [Romans 3:10]
Bible Verses:
Revelation 21:11 (Heaven’s radiance like a precious stone) // Revelation 21:18-21 (Golden streets, foundations of precious stones) //
Revelation 22:5 (No need for sun or moon, eternal light) // Revelation 4:6 (Sea of glass, like crystal)

March 2nd, 2025 - Message of the Week "The Rich Man & Lazarus"
March 2nd, 2025
“Rich Man & Lazarus”
by Pastor Silas Doctor
"19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.“
Wealth and material possessions don’t save us. Faith in false idols or religious leaders; faith in money; faith in feelings and emotions; all these faiths lead to destruction and an eternity in hell.
Only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will save you.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“Nobody can buy you out of hell; nobody can pray you out of hell…”
“It’s our choice. God won’t force anybody.”
“Don’t wait, you may not get another tomorrow.”
“Our bodies will die; they’re going to be buried; they’ll turn back to dust. Back to where we came from.”
“I would much rather be like Lazarus than the rich man. How about you?”

“Apple of Your Eye"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
---------------------------------------------------------
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."
Will things have value to us in 100 years? What will last the test of time? Only our relationship with our Lord. Is your focus on Him?
satan works diligently to create diversions and distractions to keep our eyes and our focus to be off of God.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.

February 16th, 2025
“Aren't You Grateful You Don't Get What You Deserve?"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth."
Are we good people? Is there any works or justification to a Holy, Righteous God that will get us into Heaven?
We deserve hell. But as the passage says in verse 22, "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not."
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“We can forgive, we can forget when someone hurts our feelings."
"Every day, in some way, I fail Him in some way and I have to say, 'I'm sorry.'"
"How many times do we overlook when someone does us wrong?"
"Listen... we have to be patient with people. We have to be patient."
"Help others when you see they have a need, even if they've wronged you in the past... We have wronged God and He still helps us."

February 9th, 2025 - Message of the Week "What Are You Doing For The Lord?"
February 9th, 2025
“Devoted to God and His Word"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.”
Once you repent and come to the truth of Jesus Christ, a life change starts to happen in your life. The Holy Spirit gives us a direct connection to God to know Him and seek Him out. Our devotion and committment to Him is still our own choice as God never coerces or interferes with our free will.
Are you devoted to God and His Word? Pastor explores the early church men and women's devotion and God's Word on this matter in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
“As we can see, the first Christ followers were 100% devoted to Christ and to His cause. They were sold out, completely committed to Him and His Word and were ready to make an impact."
"If you've never had a time in your life where you've repented and by faith invited the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart as your Savior, you're not saved. You can be in church all your life, but if you don't get saved, you'll go to hell. You might have Christian parents, that doesn't make any difference. That's not gonna get you into heaven. You can't buy your way... none of those things."
"If someone's not saved, born again. If you're listening, you should really, really be listening to what God's got to say. Because if you don't and you don't repent and get saved, you'll spend eternity in hell. You say, 'I don't like to hear about hell, Preacher.' Check out the Bible."

“What Are You Doing For The Lord?"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14 Whereas ye know not what shall beon the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
What is your life but a vapor? Are we to be prideful of our goodness? Our greatest accomplishments are nothing but filthy rags to the Lord.
James warns us that if we know to do good and do not do it, that is sin. Are you doing the good God has called of you?

January 26th, 2025
“Falling Away"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
Do some Pastors and clergy not know or even believe in God? As men, we tend to rely on our own knowledge and intellect. This causes us, in our naivety and pride, to fall away from God's Word, Jesus Christ, and the truth... into our own vane thoughts and beliefs, which are incredibly flawed and deceitful.
Some of the men like this have explored incredibly dangerous ideologies and can exploit their power by persuading their congregations away from God’s Word or play the part, deceptively, sometimes only for financial purposes.
Pastor explores this in today’s message.
Notes & Quotes:
From the Pastors and clergy that has fallen away:
“As long as you’re talking about God and Jesus and the Bible - that’s what they want to hear.”
“If not believing in a supernatural and holy God, makes you an atheist, then I am one.”
“… remains in the ministry largely for financial reasons…”
“I see it as play acting..

“Trump's Re-election Win"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in theirhands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.”
Tomorrow is a historic day in American history. President Elect Donald J. Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States of America.
From the Gulf of America, the Panama Canal, and Greenland… to destroying woke culture: from men being allowed in women’s spaces and sports; DEI initiatives; and so much more, Trump has been outspoken in his plan to change America’s course.

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
Are we the Book of Revelation generation? Are we living in the last days before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ? The truth is you better get right with God and accept the truth of Jesus Christ because all signs point to Him coming soon.
Many people think we are heading to and living in a time of peace and prosperity. But the world is full of wars and rumors of wars, natural disasters, and many other prophetic events.
Pastor Doctor says We are the Book of Revelation Generation. How long do we have? Only the Father knows. Please, we urge you, get right with God today and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. ♥️🙏

January 5th, 2025 - Message of the Week "The Complete Picture of a Believer"
January 5th, 2024
"The Complete Picture of a Believer"
by Pastor Silas Doctor
“1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.”
Paul calls Timothy eight titles within his letter to him, encouraging both Timothy and also each of us in the faith.
The eight things he calls Timothy are:
Son - we are born again and become children of God by our faith and belief in Jesus' finished work on the cross
Steward - someone who is giving God our time, our talents, our resources, our effort, and our sacrifices
Soldier - someone who take orders, has to endure hardness, requires endurance, takes an army of us
Athlete - strive for mastery, lawfully; obeys the rules God has set before us in our lives
Farmer - we need to plow, we need to sow, we need to water, we need to harvest - sometimes we are only part of this process
Worker - we expect tradesmen to follow their blueprints or plans, depending upon their expertise; as followers of Jesus Christ, we should follow the plans He has given us in His Word
Vessel for God's Glory - we are to be a clean vessel for God's glory. Our actions should reflect this truth, as faithful believers in Jesus Christ.
Servant - we should serve the Lord with a cheerful heart. Not slavery, but servitude; voluntarily, because we love Him and want to keep His commandments and will for our lives.
Pastor explore this in today's message.
Notes & Quotes:
“Paul stresses the importance of godly living... preaching the Word in season, out of season, Amen. And preparing for the coming time of trouble within the church... ...do we see that in some churches in America today?"
"If you are truly saved and born again, why would you be so proud that you wouldn't tell someone else?"
