Sunday’s Coming ~ October 9, 2016
A person we know as the Apostle Paul wrote two young men living in the city of Ephesus to hold on to what is true. In his letters to Timothy and Titus he encourages them several times saying, “The saying is trustworthy…”
He uses that phrase five times to precede a bedrock truth he wants Timothy and Titus to hold fast. We’re looking at one each week.
This week’s “trustworthy saying” includes”…we have set our hope on the living God…”

This week’s verse is 1 Timothy 3:1, “The saying is trustworthy, if anyone aspires to the office of overseer, that one desires a noble task.”
At first glance, it seems odd that human church leadership would rise to “The Top 5” list of the most important things Paul wants to leave behind for Timothy. But, as we’ll see, everything rises and falls on leadership. You know this from virtually every group you’ve been part of. There must be leadership to get things done. And, with the long view for the church, there is no success without succession.
