1 Timothy 3:1-7 // The Second Trustworthy Saying // Taylor Callen

Why does Paul call the desire to be an overseer a “trustworthy saying”? Because pastors are entrusted with preaching and protecting the gospel: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”In 1 Timothy 3:1–7, Paul shows us what kind of men should shepherd Christ’s church—men who desire the work, live as examples worth following, shepherd their homes well, are tested by time, and are respected by outsiders. This passage calls churches to pray for qualified pastors, pursue godliness together, and look ultimately to Jesus, the Chief Shepherd who never fails His people.#1Timothy3 #1TimothyHBC #TheSecondTrustworthySaying #ChurchLeadership #Pastors #Elders #ChiefShepherd #HoriconBaptistChurch #FaithComesByHearing
