Everyone Is An Example, But Of What?

DateSunday, October 23, 2011 at 6:00PM

Speaker: Toby Soechting

Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:12-16

INTRODUCTION:

  1. Lamps do not talk, but they do shine!
  2. A genuine Christian is the best evidence of the genuineness of Christianity!
  3. If I am following Jesus Christ, then I must be aware of the example I set.

DISCUSSION:  

I. GOD IS OUR SUPREME EXAMPLE.

  1. “You shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy” (Lev. 19:2).
  2. Especially, God is our example in loving-kindness (cf. Psa. 26:3).

II. JESUS IS OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE.

  1. “Pure was the mind of Christ, sinless I see, He the great example is and pattern for me…”
  2. Jesus lived righteously (Heb. 4:15; Jn. 1:29).
  3. The pattern and example of Jesus in our lives should make a visible difference (cf. Acts 4:13).

III. OUR EXAMPLE SHOULD FOLLOW.

  1. “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ” (1 Cor. 11:1).
  2. Paul instructed Timothy to be an example in: word, conduct, love, faith, and purity (1 Tim. 4:12).

CONCLUSION:  Is there a great pattern and example to your life and in your life this hour?
