Practice, Progress, and Persistence

Practice, Progress, and Persistence

Author: Alistair Begg October 30, 2025 Duration: 1:28:32
In a church context that held great potential for apostasy, Timothy faced the task of leading through the example of his lifestyle and work. Faithful ministry, Paul explained to him, flows from godly character—speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity—and from wholehearted devotion to Scripture, exhortation, and teaching. Alistair Begg considers Paul’s guidance to Timothy, which can help today’s pastors, too, as they seek to watch themselves and their doctrine closely and see themselves and their hearers saved. Bible passages: 1 Timothy 4:11-16
