Mark A. Copeland F. AN EXAMPLE IN “PURITY”... 1. Virtually all translations use the word “purity” a. The Grk. is hagneia - “purity, sinlessness of life” - Thayer b. In the NT, used only here and in 1 Ti 5:2 2. Moral or sexual purity, both in thought and act, seems to be the idea a. “There should be nothing in your contact with the other sex that would give rise to scandal.” - Barnes b. “Chastity of body and mind; a direction peculiarly necessary for a young minister, who has more temptations to break its rules than perhaps any other person.” - Clarke -- As Paul would instruct Timothy later, all Christians should “flee youthful lusts” and “pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace...” - cf. 2 Ti 2:22 CONCLUSION 1. Are we calling on the Lord out of a pure heart...? - cf. 2 Ti 2:22 a. Calling upon Him for our salvation? b. Calling upon Him for our sanctification? 2. Then let our example be one that illustrates the power of the gospel to impact... a. Our words b. Our conduct c. Our love d. Our spirit e. Our faith f. Our purity What kind of church (people) would we be if everyone followed our own example in these things?

That Your Progress May Be Evident 1 Timothy 4:13-16 INTRODUCTION 1. In 1 Ti 4:13-16, we find Paul telling Timothy things to do... a. Until Paul was able to come to him b. That would make Timothy’s progress evident to all c. That would save himself and those who heard him -- These instructions were related to Timothy’s work as an evangelist 2. Yet are there not applications that all Christians can take from this passage...? a. As we await the coming of our Lord? b. That would make our own progress evident to all? c. That would save ourselves and those near us? -- Indeed, these instructions are worthy of our careful consideration as Christians! [With this in mind, what can be gleaned from Paul’s charge in this passage so “That Your Progress May Be Evident”...?] I. GIVE YOUR ATTENTION A. TO READING... 1. In Timothy’s case a. It may refer to public reading of Scripture, a custom in the synagogue that was continued in the church - Lk 4:16-20; Ac 13:15; 15:21; 1 Th 5:27; Co 4:16; Re 1:3 b. It may also include private reading, for the benefit of personal growth - Josh 1:8 2. In our case a. We should certainly give attention to daily Bible reading for spiritual growth - Psa 1:1-3 b. We might also read other books to encourage our walk with God - Ph 4:8 -- At the very least, reading God’s Word is essential to our spiritual progress! B. TO EXHORTATION... 1. In Timothy’s case a. It likely refers to public teaching or preaching, in which one exhorts others - Ro 12:8 b. It may also include private exhortation, as one encourages another - 1 Th 5:11 2. In our case a. We exhort one another by our frequent assembling - He 10:24-25 b. We can also exhort one another daily - He 3:13 -- Exhorting another person not only blesses them, but ourselves as well! C. TO DOCTRINE... 1. In Timothy’s case a. This refers to the teaching or instruction he would do as a minister - 1 Ti 4:6 Mark A. Copeland Sermons From First Timothy 49
