1 Timothy 3:14-16
Guidance and Godliness
1 TimothyThis sermon, focusing on 1 Timothy 3:14-16, unpacks the "mystery of godliness" as the person of Jesus Christ, revealed through a series of paradoxes demonstrating God's grace to sinners. It then explains the church's vital role as the "pillar and foundation of the truth," tasked with preserving and proclaiming this mystery rather than creating new doctrines. Finally, the sermon emphasizes that the conduct of individual believers and the church as an institution must reflect and protect the Gospel's truth to a watching world.
