Our subject tonight is Timothy: a student's faithfulness, with Daniel Rudge.

Timothy was faithful. Are we faithful to God's calling in our lives?

We begin by looking at Timothy's childhood. Timothy was half Jew and half Gentile. His mother, Eunice, was a believer.

As Timothy was growing up, he looked to her faith as an example to him. As parents, we should look to guide our children to the Lord.

Timothy was between 15 and 17 when Paul came to Lystra and was stoned. Timothy saw and knew what Paul went through.

Timothy would have heard preaching by Paul and Barnabas realised it was genuine faith after seeing Paul suffer.

Timothy's childhood training made him receptive to the gospel message. In his day it was generally the poor and needy who were receptive.

Are we taking the message to the right people today? We need to keep teaching the young about the things of God. Keep sowing the seed.

In Acts 16 we're back in Lystra and Timothy is around 22. Timothy was a disciple. He sought to imitate the Lord in his life. Do we?

In Acts 16:2, Paul wanted Timothy to leave everything and go with him on his journey, preaching the good news. Would we be prepared to go?

Paul circumcised Timothy, allowing him access to the temple to preach to the Jews. Is there anything that hinders the gospel in our lives?

Paul's charge to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:3, was to be in Ephesus as a teacher to restrain and correct false teaching. Not a pastor.
— Parkside Christn Fwp (@ParksideCF) February 8, 2014
Our world today has lots of false teaching. The antidote is the Word of God. Timothy had to preach and practice it. We need to do the same.

Timothy had a gift to be able to meet the need of those at Ephesus and was endorsed by the elders. He needed to use his gift. How about us?
