Servants Guarding the Gospel

1 Timothy 3:8-13

             Purpose: Displaying how deacon servants guard the               gospel in the household of God

1. The Servant’s Faith Guards the Gospel 
   (1 Timothy 3:8-10)

2. The Servant’s Home Guards the Gospel
   (1 Timothy 3:11-12)

              As in the Home, So in the Church!

              You want to see how a man is faithful to Christ? 
              Look as his marriage!

              Faithfulness to one woman reflects faithfulness to
             One God!
 

             You want to see how a man will serve a church? 
             Look at his children!

             Faithfulness raising children in Christ will replicate in 
             faithfully making disciples!

            You want to see how a man will manage the
            household of God? Look at his household!

            Faithfulness managing a family will reproduce faithful
            stewardship in the church.

3. The Servant’s Reward in the Gospel
   (1 Timothy 3:13)
