The Distinctives of a Man of God

by John Shearer

1 Timothy 4:1–16
 (ID: GS939)

When asked why his team was so successful, a Liverpool football coach answered with five simple words: “They do the basics well.” The same should be true for any pastor involved in Christian ministry. Speaking from 1 Timothy, John Shearer unpacks the distinctives that are foundational to every preaching ministry. Faithfulness, godliness, exemplariness, and devotedness are vital characteristics all pastors should exercise as they serve the Lord by ministering to His people.
