Be Above Reproach

Sunday sermons during the summer are based on 1 & 2 Timothy, in concert with our Wednesday Night Summer Series of lessons.

In 1 Timothy 3, Paul shares the “mystery from which true godliness springs.”

Paul also lays out the pattern of lives that elders and deacons and women should demonstrate in their lives.  They should live their lives in a way that bring glory and honor and respect to the name of Jesus.

In the letters to Timothy, Paul provides the practical direction that helps Christians LIVE lives “worthy of the calling [they] have received (Ephesians 4:1).”


Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

1 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)
