Letters to a Young Pastor (1 Timothy 6) You know what the “prosperity gospel” is, don’t you? You may have heard it in this form: “Whatever you conceive and believe, you can do.” It sounds great, right? Just dream—and if you want it enough, it can be yours. The problem is, it’s not true. In fact, it can be downright sinful. Paul urges Timothy to stay away from those who try to make money from preaching and have strayed from the sound teachings of the gospel. To them, religion is nothing more than a way to get rich. This attitude is detestable to God. The church exists to glorify God and to save souls with the message of Christ crucified. And it’s our duty to take this powerful message to the ends of the earth.

Letters to a Young Pastor (1 Timothy) As members of a Christian congregation, we are family. In chapter five, Paul reminds Timothy what that means. He urges the young pastor to treat everyone with respect—to treat older men and women as fathers and mothers, and younger men and women as brothers and sisters. Ministry is all about service; God has a ministry for every believer to perform. We need to apply that lesson to ourselves. What can I do to serve others in the Trinity family? Discussion begins in the Commons at 9:15. Coffee and snacks are provided.

Letters to a Young Pastor To be a leader in the church is a heavy responsibility. You are dealing with more than just money, property, and livelihood; you’re dealing with souls. We must keep that in mind as we seek to call a new pastor and principal to serve our congregation. The church belongs to God. Church leaders should be elected, chosen, or called not because they are popular, but because they are faithful to him. Everything else takes second place. A called worker must be willing to serve and sometimes to suffer. For all these reasons, not everyone is qualified to serve in the public ministry. So, what are the qualifications for ministry? This week, we look at 1 Timothy 3.

Letters to a Young Pastor How do you organize a church? How do you manage its worship services, Bible classes, and leadership? How do you handle prayers for government officials when church members have differing political views? What about the roles of men and women? These questions may be difficult for us, but at least we have some precedent to go on. Imagine how difficult it must have been for a young pastor when the Christian church was still in its infancy. You want to lay a good foundation for the church you serve and do everything in the right way. But what if you start off on the wrong foot? Aiming off-course in the beginning can put you on a trajectory that leads far afield and undermines the gospel.
