LEADERSHIP ADVICE FROM PAUL TO TIMOTHY

October 20, 2023

“Never be in a hurry about appointing a church leader” (1 Timothy 5:22 NLT). Paul gave young Timothy good leadership advice on how to raise up leaders in the church at Ephesus. Literally, his advice was, “Don’t be hasty in the laying on of hands.” In other words, “Timothy, take your time before promoting someone.”

“The elders who are good leaders should be considered worthy of an ample honorarium, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching” (1 Timothy 5:17 HCSB).

HONORING THOSE WHO PREACH AND TEACH THE WORD Elders are to lead and feed the flock. Or as Paul taught, they are to be “good leaders” and “work hard at preaching and teaching.” In return, the members of the flock are to count them “worthy of an ample honorarium.” The Greek word translated “honorarium” has

LEADERSHIP ADVICE FROM PAUL TO TIMOTHY Good leadership advice. Before elevating someone to leadership, put them through a time of testing. See if they are F.A.T. (Faithful, Available, Teachable), then set them apart and give them some authority. Better to be short on leaders for a little while than to rush to raise up those

“Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine” (1 Timothy 5:17 NKJV)

Elders are to lead and feed the flock. Or as Paul taught, they are to “rule well” and “labor in the word and doctrine.” In return, the members of the flock are to count them “worthy of double honor.” The word honor has the meaning of both respect and reward. It is appropriate that a pastor who devotes himself to full time ministry be given appropriate respect and financial support. He is worthy of a double honor. Yet, elders should not serve in order to receive this honor, rather they should be ready to sacrifice all for the privilege of fulfilling Christ’s call. Elders should sacrifice to serve and members should sacrifice to support.

A Household of Mutual Honor

March 23, 2014 | 1 Timothy 5:1 - 6:2 | exposition

Pastor Gary Combs continues the sermon series “ENTRUSTED: An Exposition of 1 Timothy” with this message from 1 Timothy 5. In the apostle Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he entrusted him with instructions on how the people of God were to establish a household marked by mutually honoring one another. We are entrusted with these same instructions for establishing God’s household, His church, as a people who mutually honor one another.

“Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters” (1 Timothy 5:1-2)

Paul told Timothy to treat church members like family. The Spirit inspires a culture of mutual respect in the family of God. One that recognizes the unique way fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters are to be treated.

“Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands” (1 Timothy 5:22)

October 20, 2011

Good leadership advice. Before promoting someone to lead, put them through a time of testing. See if they are FAT (Faithful, Available, Teachable), then set them apart and give them authority. Better to be short on leaders for a little while than to rush to raise up those who will disappoint and do harm.
