A Good Servant of Christ Jesus (Personal)

by Alistair Begg

1 Timothy 4:6–10
 (ID: 3231)

Ministers of Jesus Christ have a high calling that encompasses their personal lives as well as their public ministry. In this message, Alistair Begg reminds pastors of important points from Paul’s first letter to Timothy. Before Gospel ministers can remind others of the truths of the faith, those same truths must first nourish their own souls. Then, actively putting these truths into practice, they are to train themselves in godliness as they labor, with God’s help, to proclaim the good news of salvation.
