A Good Servant of Christ Jesus (Public)

by Alistair Begg

1 Timothy 4:11–16
 (ID: 3232)

Since the early church, pastors—especially young pastors—have faced many challenges. In this message, Alistair Begg explores Paul’s instruction to Timothy on the “standing orders” that are to direct the life and work of a Gospel minister. In growing as an example of godliness, it is important to pay close attention to one’s speech, conduct, and the actual work being done in reading, preaching, and teaching the Scriptures. Patient, consistent practice of these things, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, will result in progress that’s attributed to the power and glory of God.
