Transcript of The daily pursuit
Everyday Christianity
• As a Christian, like Timothy, we too must pursue a godly lifestyle everyday.
• So to make this work, we must listen to God’s commands in the scriptures and do them. Luke 11:28; Romans 12:1
Serve Where You Are Called• Whether young or old, etc.
– Be a good example to the believers!– This is a necessary pursuit of life!
1 Tim. 4:16; 1 Peter 3:10-12–Don’t allow pre-conceived ideas,
cultural myths or the devil’s roadblocks deter you of your godly goals and pursuits.
Phil. 1:20; 4:13
Pursuing In What You Say & Do!
• Be a godly example in word.– Edifying words. Ephesians 4:29 – Words of grace (favor). Col. 4:6– Words of Truth 1 Peter 4:11– Sound speech Titus 2:8 The Christians of old were also
expected to set a good example in their manner of life. 1 Peter 1:15-16 Both men and women! Titus 2:1-10
Pursuing A Life of Love
• Have love as your pursuit for everything.
• This should be a fundamental part of your life…1 Cor.16:14– Love God… Mark 12:30– Love self and neighbor… Mark 12:31
• Through it we’re to serve one another… Galatians 5:13
In Spirit, Faith and Purity
• Our pursuit of zeal for God and following direction of the inspired word is important. John 16:13
• Our proper faith is also vital to living right. Heb. 11:6
»We need pure motives, aims, and deeds. Be sure that they’ll glorify God… 1 Cor. 10:31
God’s Doctrine, Our Pattern For Living
• We’re to meditate on God’s truths.– We must give careful attention to reading,
exhortation, and doctrine. 1 Tim. 4:13 – Verse 15 (WNT) Habitually practice
these duties, and be absorbed in them; so that your growing proficiency in them may be evident to all.
– Verse 16 (ERV) Be careful in your life and in your teaching. Continue to live and teach rightly. Then you will save yourself and those who listen to your teaching.
