This sermon centers on 1 Timothy 4:11–16, especially the command: “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine.” Paul’s charge to Timothy is applied beyond ministry leadership to every believer who wants to be useful to God and an example to others. The message highlights Timothy’s call to live in a way that no one can rightly “despise” his youth—by being an example in word, conduct, charity, spirit, faith, and purity.
This sermon is a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 10, centered on the command in verse 31: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” Dan Botterbrodt explains the immediate context of Christian liberty and conscience, showing that Paul is not forbidding meat sold in the marketplace, but teaching believers to restrict their liberty when it would offend another person’s conscience or harm the gospel witness.
