In Philippians 2:19-24, Paul couldn’t find anyone like Timothy to send to the Philippians. Why? Because Timothy stopped seeking his own interests and started seeking Christ’s kingdom instead.
In this message, we break down what made Timothy different and how you can become the kind of person God can use in your relationships, church, and calling.
We also unpack:
- Why you don’t jump into leadership too soon
- The cost of following Christ (and losing friends because of it)
- How to trust God when you don’t have the full picture
- Why who you marry can disqualify you from ministry
