Workmen That Need Not Be Ashamed

Timothy 2 2:15-16

I: Study, Plan, and Purpose:
1. Study God’s word, study the needs of your class, study the individual.
2. Good plans make for a good building.
Plans help us to count the cost and keeps our eyes open as to where we are going.
3. Purpose in your heart to plow the field thoroughly without a backward look.

II: Practice What You Preach.
1. “Teachest thou not thyself?”
2. “Thou that preachest a man should not steal, doust thou steal?” Do you steal from God’s time, talent, or tithe?
3. Doest thou commit sacrilege?
4. Do you bring dishonor to God?
5. Your actions will speak louder than your words, you will teach by example whether you want to or not.

III: Work As One Body. Cor. 1 12:13-22
1. Jesus Christ as the head.
2. There is no place to act independent of the body.
3. The whole body could not be an eye.
4. There is no place to degrade or pull away from the members of the body.
5. Every one is necessary to keep the body functioning.
