1 Timothy 4 - A Successful Ministry

SUCCESSFUL MINISTRY DEPENDS ON ONE THING:  FAITHFULNESS 

#1 - Motivation for Ministry  

Ask yourself: Does it Please Him?

#2 - Measure of your Ministry

Ask yourself: What does Jesus Want?

#3 - Mindset of your Ministry

Ask yourself: What allowed Paul to keep going?   4 Key Facets to Facing Challenges

1) What am I Relying Upon? Your own strength or v17-The Lord's strength.

2) What are you Resting In? Your own control or v17-God's sovereignty.

3) What are you Remembering? Worley thoughts like: "Everything will be ok" or v18-"The Lord will bring me safely into His kingdom."

4) What do you Rejoice for? Self promotion or v18-God's glory.

Conclusion:

Are you denying the enemy of faithfulness? (Pleasure)

Are you guarding the friend of faithfulness? (The Word Entrusted to you)
