In this sermon from 1 Timothy 3, we explore Paul’s timeless instructions to Timothy on raising godly leaders for the church. Just as a ship needs a faithful captain to navigate stormy seas, the church needs leaders who reflect Christ’s character—faithful, self-controlled, hospitable, and grounded in the gospel. Here we learn that leadership isn’t about power or structure but about hearts transformed by the Spirit to equip God’s people. From overseers to deacons, Paul outlines qualities like integrity, teaching ability, and good household management. This message challenges us to pray for our leaders, support them, and consider our own calling to serve. Join us as we discover how godly leadership strengthens the church to shine Christ’s truth in our world.
