Journey Church Amarillo

1 Timothy 4

God equips every believer with unique spiritual gifts meant to serve others and advance His kingdom. These gifts range from speaking and teaching to service and creativity, each specially chosen by God for the individual. While discovering these gifts is important, the true power lies in developing a servant's heart and using these abilities to make a difference. The focus should be on selfless service rather than personal power, as Jesus taught that true greatness comes through serving others.

1 Timothy 3 Character is Key

Biblical church leadership fundamentally differs from secular leadership by prioritizing character over skills. Leaders must exemplify qualities like being above reproach, self-controlled, and hospitable as outlined in First Timothy 3. While skills can be taught, character must be cultivated through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Various leadership roles exist within the church, including small group leaders, children's ministry leaders, worship leaders, and pastors, all requiring strong character foundations.

Gospel IRL - Forgiveness

Biblical forgiveness goes beyond simply pardoning others - it's about breaking free from the chains of resentment and hurt. When we hold onto unforgiveness, we create debtor relationships that poison our hearts and affect our well-being. Drawing from Matthew 18:21-35, we learn that having received God's infinite forgiveness, we must extend that same grace to others. The path to forgiveness involves identifying what's been taken from us, consciously canceling the debt, and refusing to hold it against others when memories resurface. This process leads to emotional and spiritual freedom.

Gospel IRL - Discipleship

Discipleship is a core element of Christian faith, focusing on being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing what He did. It involves learning from experienced believers, growing in biblical knowledge, and applying Christian principles to daily life. Every Christian is called to make disciples, regardless of their experience level or formal position. The process involves prayer, scripture study, sharing life experiences, and building meaningful relationships with others on their faith journey.
