The Mystery of the Church (1 Timothy 3:14-16)

In this sermon, I want you to think about BELIEF and BEHAVIOR. Paul says here that how one ought to behave in the house of God (the church), is connected to what we confess, what we believe to be true. Vince Lombardi, the Hall of Fame coach of the Green Bay Packers, was notorious for his emphasis on fundamentals. His teams won championships because they could block, tackle, and execute better than anyone else. It is said that once, frustrated by his team's poor performance, he held up a football and said, “Gentlemen, this is a football!” He knew their core knowledge, their core beliefs about the game of football, affected their performance or their behavior on the field. Like Coach Lombardi, the apostle Paul knew well the importance of going back to the fundamentals. He penned this letter to Timothy because the church at Ephesus was starting to drift away from the basic truths of the Christian faith. Like the Ephesians, we need regularly to be reminded of the foundational truths of our faith. So, Paul writes this passage as a reminder that the church must give its attention to the essential truths. Contact us @4faithfoundations@gmail.com Visit our website @ faithfoundations.church
