Series: Guard the TreasureTitle: 5 Keys to Success in Ministry (& Life)Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:11-16 NIV Bottom line: “Watch your life and doctrine closely.” Persevering in them will lead to success in ministry (and in life).Alt. Bottom Line: We succeed in ministry through Christlike character and competency.Competencies that include:The WordGifted nessDiligence, andBalanceINTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDINTRODUCTIONIllustration or storyLife-Changing Words by Nicky GumbelMy father wanted to go to Russia before he died. We went there on holiday as a family. At that time Bibles were strictly illegal there. I took with me some Russian Bibles. While I was there I went to churches and looked for people who seemed to be genuine Christians. (Church meetings were often infiltrated by the KGB.)On one occasion, I followed a man down the street after a service. I went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. There was nobody about. I took out one of my Bibles and handed it to him. For a moment, he had an expression of utmost disbelief. Then he took from his pocket a New Testament, which was probably 100 years old. The pages were so threadbare they were virtually transparent. When he realised that he had received a whole Bible, he was elated. He didn't speak any English and I didn't speak any Russian. But we hugged each other and he started to run up and down the street jumping for joy.CONTEXTTimothy seems to be where he doesn't really want to be right now.Church didn't call him.Elder leaders don't think he's seasoned enough.And yet Paul sends him to “Guard the treasure” for the sake of the Church's mission.In ministry and in life, we guard the treasure of the gospel (truth and godliness) successfully by growing in Christlike character and the following competencies:The wordGiftedness DiligenceBalanceBut it all starts with and is built on character. Rick Warren showed me this using his famous baseball diamond illustration. First base is fellowship (knowing Christ), second base is discipleship (growing in Christ) which is where character formation begins, third base is ministry (serving as the hands and feet of Christ), and home is mission (Sharing Christ). You'll notice that ministry or competency (third base) is built on the foundation of second base (character) which is built on knowing God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.Yeah, it all starts with Christlike character which is a fruit of the Spirit of God that we receive at salvation. SERMON OUTLINE (based on Hughes' outline):Successful Ministry requires us to grow in Christlike character and competency—Becoming and Doing like Christ:I. Successful ministry assumes that you are eating and exercising spiritually. A. Diet—word of God (1 Tim 4:78-)B. Exercise—training to remain/abide in Christ (cf. John 15:1-5)C. Note that in v. 11 Paul urges Timothy to “Command and teach these things.”II. Successful ministry happens through personal godliness/Christlike character. (V. 12) Note Paul's 5-fold godliness description:A. Through speechB. Through conductC. Through loveD. Through faithE. Through purity—John goes on to describe the completed church in heaven – their *purity* and their *power*. The two are connected. As Pastor Rick Warren has tweeted, ‘In ministry, *private purity* is the source of *public power*.'F. Note that he starts with the observable and moves to the inner life. G. Paul seems to understand that when we are challenged in our leadership our first impulse/response is to speak when we should listen and act when we should be still.III. Successful ministry happens through the Word (v. 13)A. Public reading of scripture“When a church ceases to be in touch with another world, she is no longer in touch with this one.” -someone, heard from J Vernon McGeeB. Preaching—exhortation to obey, imitate, or apply the Word to your lifeC. Teaching—explanation and doctrinal instruction More than devotional thoughtsMore like boundaries, wisdom and truths to base your faith on when you're tempted to doubt e.g. What is God like?IV. Successful ministry happens through personal giftedness. (V. 14)A. Not talking about talents or abilities here, though they are relevant. B. Talking about spiritual gifting that comes with the Holy Spirit when we are born again. When we are spiritually born, we get birthday gifts:New life/new creation or spiritual birthday where we are immersed (baptized) by the HSPresence of the Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing he'll finish what he's startedFruit of the Spirit (builds character)Gift(s) of the Spirit (points to our ministry or spiritual strengths)Everyone has at least oneNo one has them allSee Romans 12, 1 Cor 12, and Eph 4:11-12 for a partial list of spiritual giftsV. Successful ministry happens through diligence. (v. 15)A. DietB. Train hard. Hard work. VI. Successful ministry happens through balance. (V. 16)A. Note the balance in this verse. “Godly people are God-fearing people. They have experienced the Copernican revolution of Christian conversion from self-centeredness to God-centeredness..” -John StottLife (how you live) andDoctrine (what you believe) What you believe determines how you live and How you live demonstrates what you (really) believeI.e. Faith matters in life—not just in the afterlife.B. Note how this verse summarizes successful ministry: “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”“Yourself” (character)“Teaching” (word & gifting)“Persevere in them” (diligence)Balance seen in summary formC. Find Your Balance by Nicky GumbelMy body is so inflexible. I was told once by a professional fitness trainer, who happened to notice the way I was walking, that I was one of the worst cases of stiffness he had ever come across. I am now trying to do more stretching! I had considered myself reasonably fit (for my age!), as a result of still playing squash and biking everywhere. But in other ways, I realised I am not. Physical fitness is a balance of strength, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Some people are exceptionally strong but cannot even run to catch a bus. Others are aerobically very fit (they could run a marathon), but are not very strong. However, spiritual fitness is far more important than physical fitness. It also involves balancing a number of areas of your life.CONCLUSIONSt. Patrick's Day. It's always been--and never been--a holiday for me. It hasn't been a holiday for me because I don't partake in the typical Irish revelry. No interest there. It has been a holiday for me in that I tend to wear green that day and engage in the silly banter around that tradition. But I've never really taken the holiday marking the death of St. Patrick seriously. But that's changing.The more I learn about this disciple-making saint, the more I like him. Like Joseph, son of Jacob, he was sold into slavery--this time to the Irish barbarians. After six years of servitude, he escaped eventually making it back to his British homeland. It's at age 48--my age this year--that he receives a "Macedonian call," similar to Paul in Acts, to go share the Gospel with the Irish. He gathers a team and does just that for the next thirty years. As a result, the Irish move from a pagan culture to a Christian one.He used methods that were controversial, to say the least, in the church in that day. He didn't focus on converts but on making disciple-makers. He emphasized holy-living while planting 200 churches. He used methods that focused on implanting Christ into the Irish culture instead of paving a Romanized Christ overtop of that culture. A movement was born, as a result.I pray that we'll see that as our missional mandate--to take Christ to our culture in a way that results in a movement that redeems that culture instead of destroying it. What a legacy St. Patrick has. I hope I leave a legacy like his. Bottom line: “Watch your life and doctrine closely.” Persevering in them will lead to success in ministry (and in life).PrayNOTESLet's ask some summary questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. 5 keys to success in ministry (and life)Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. So that they'll examine their life Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. Make adjustments and surrender to his way.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. So they'll stay true to Christ and carry out his mission.Q. How can they begin to do this?A.

The ship's hull was divided into sixteen watertight compartments. Up to four of these compartments could be damaged or even flooded, and still the ship would float.Tragically, the Titanic sank on 15 April 1912 at 2.20 am. 1,513 people lost their lives. At the time, it was thought that five of its watertight compartments had been ruptured in a collision with an iceberg.However, on 1 September 1985, when the wreck of the Titanic was found lying upright on the ocean floor, there was no sign of the long gash previously thought to have been ripped in the ship's hull. What they discovered was that damage to one compartment affected all the rest.Many people make the Titanic mistake. They think they can divide their lives into different ‘compartments' and that what they do in one will not affect the rest. However, as Rick Warren (from whom I have taken this illustration) says, ‘A life of integrity is one that is not divided into compartments.'David prayed for ‘an undivided heart' (Psalm 86:11). He led the people with ‘integrity of heart' (78:72). Supremely, Jesus was a ‘man of integrity' (Matthew 22:16; Mark 12:14). How can you and I avoid the Titanic mistake and live lives of integrity?How do stay true to Christ (godliness) and overcome false teachings?Proper diet + exerciseCONTEXTFalse teachers are intentionally wreaking havoc on the Ephesians church. That's the context for this letter. There are issues in the church at Ephesus and Paul can't be there to straighten things out. So he sent Timothy in his place to straighten things out until he can get there. This letter represents his instructions to Timothy to help him do just that.“If I were preaching a sermon specifically on 1 Timothy 3:14-16, the main topic would likely revolve around the significance of the church as the guardian of truth and the mystery of godliness centered on Jesus Christ. I would focus on how these verses highlight the importance of understanding and upholding the core beliefs of Christianity while recognizing the profound nature of Christ's life, message, and exaltation.” -ChatGPT 3.5We guard the treasure of the gospel (truth and godliness) by:Sermon Outline (by Hughes):Remaining true to Christ and godliness requires:Diet for Godliness (6-7a)Reject bad doctrineDine on good teachingExercise for Godliness (7b-10)Called to exerciseBenefits of exerciseCONCLUSIONLife-Changing WordsNicky GumbelMy father wanted to go to Russia before he died. We went there on holiday as a family. At that time Bibles were strictly illegal there. I took with me some Russian Bibles. While I was there I went to churches and looked for people who seemed to be genuine Christians.

But we hugged each other and he started to run up and down the street jumping for joy.The words of God are ‘more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb' (Psalm 19:10).Why are the words of God so precious? Jesus said: ‘People do not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God' (Matthew 4:4). The original expression means ‘is continually coming out of the mouth of God'; it is like a stream pouring forth and, like the stream of a fountain, it is never static. God is continually communicating with us. He does so, primarily, through the life-changing words of the Bible.Bible in One Year 2021 With Nicky Gumbel: Day 41 • DevotionalBottom Line: We stay true to the faith by training to remain in Christ.In conclusion, let's ask some summary questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. How to stay true to Christ.Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. Because there are false teachers out there trying to derail our faith.Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. Train to remain in Christ.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. So they'll stay true to Christ.Q. How can they begin to do this?A. Prayerfully read the Bible each day.PrayNOTESToo busy to pray and be in the word?This call is for all of us who know Christ—regardless of how busy we are or how demanding our occupation. Billy Graham has shared that his medical missionary father-in-law Nelson Bell (who ran a 400-bed hospital in China, often on his own) made it a point "to rise every morning at four-thirty and spend two to three hours in Bible reading. He didn't do his correspondence or any of his other work. He just read the Scriptures every morning, and he was a walking Bible encyclopedia. People wondered at the holiness and the greatness in his life." I asked a personal friend, Dr. Ken Gieser, who worked with Dr. Bell, about this, and he affirmed every word. Consider the example of Lt. General William K. Harrison who was the most decorated soldier in the 30th Infantry Division, rated by General Eisenhower as the number one infantry division in World War II. General Harrison was the first American to enter Belgium during that war, which he did at the head of the Allied forces. He received every decoration for valor except the Congressional Medal of Honor-being honored with the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart he was one of the few generals to be wounded in action).When the Korean War began, he served as Chief of Staff in the United Nations Command and because of his character and calm self-control was ultimately President Eisenhower's choice to head the long and tedious negotiations to end the war.General Harrison was a soldier's soldier who led a busy, ultra-kinetic life, but he was also an amazing man of the Word. When he was a twenty-year-old West Point cadet, he began reading the Old Testament through once and the New Testament four times annually. General Harrison did this until the end of his life. Even in the thick of war he maintained his commitment by catching up during the two- and three-day respites for replacement and refitting that followed battles, so that when the war ended he was right on schedule. When at the age of ninety his failing eyesight no longer permitted this discipline, he had read the Old Testament seventy times and the New Testament 280 times! No wonder his godliness and wisdom were proverbial. It is no surprise that the Lord used him for eighteen fruitful years to lead Officers Christian Fellowship (OCF)."General Harrison's story tells us that it is possible, even for the busiest of us, to systematically train ourselves in God's Word. His life also remains a demonstration of the benefits of a godly mind's programming itself with Scripture. His closest associates say that every area of his life (domestic, spiri-wal, and professional) and each of the great problems he faced was informed by the Scriptures.

Series: Guard the TreasureTitle: Who Guards the Truth & How?Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:14-16 NIV Bottom Line: We guard the treasure by showing up living the truth, sharing the truth and exalting the Truth the rest of our lives.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTSERMON OUTLINECONCLUSIONNOTESOUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDINTRODUCTIONSometimes my wife Anita sends me to the store to pick up something she needs to prepare dinner. If she just needs one or two things, I don't usually write it down. If it gets longer than three things, or if branding and size become an issue, I will write it down. My chance of getting back home with the correct thing is exponentially more likely if I write it down than if I don't. But being a man, I tend to want to not write it down. It's ironic, I think, that Paul wrote down instructions for Timothy to follow and actually believed that Timothy would follow his instructions. Especially considering that we men don't love to follow instructions. And, yet, we have the letter 1 Timothy, because a man wrote down the instructions for another man to follow. Isn't God good? CONTEXTAnd that's the context for this letter. There are issues in the church at Ephesus and Paul can't be there to straighten things out. So he sent Timothy in his place to straighten things out until he can get there. This letter represents his instructions to Timothy to help him do just that.“If I were preaching a sermon specifically on 1 Timothy 3:14-16, the main topic would likely revolve around the significance of the church as the guardian of truth and the mystery of godliness centered on Jesus Christ. I would focus on how these verses highlight the importance of understanding and upholding the core beliefs of Christianity while recognizing the profound nature of Christ's life, message, and exaltation.” -ChatGPT 3.5We guard the treasure of the gospel (truth and godliness) by:SERMON OUTLINE I.

Leadership is a part of spiritual organization” -WWSeveral others I read said that everything rises and falls on leadership. We know this intuitively. We see it in the workplace. We see it in sports. We see it in politics. Great leaders lift everyone else up. And the great leaders aren't just great in competencies. They are great in character. So it should not surprise us that most of God's qualifications for his leaders are based on character.

Praying men (2:1–8)B. Modest women (2:9–15)C. Dedicated officers (3:1–13) THIS WEEK STARTS HEREThe Bible identifies 2 primary leadership roles in the church:Pastors/elders, who are servant-leaders. (Aka overseers, bishops, shepherds)Presbyter or elder, referring to the person (mature)Pastor or shepherd, referring to their role. (Lead, feed, protect, model)Bishop or overseer, referring to their role. (Watch over, see Pastor) We do not see bishops over elders/pastors in the early church.1-3 are all interchangeable because their all referring to the same person/role.Minister or deacon, referring to those who support the pastor/elder.Deacons, who are leading servants.The Bible identifies 4 responsibilities of pastors/elders: (3:1-7; Acts 20:17-31)Lead under the authority of Christ. #LEADOur pastors/elders are accountable to the church members i.e. Matt 18:15-20Our pastors/elders are accountable to GodCare for the body of Christ. #PROTECT (Acts 20:28-30; 1 Peter 5:2) “be on guard” for “savage wolves” in sheep's clothingTeach the Word of Christ. #FEEDModel the character of Christ. Bottom line: What will happen if the church imitates this leader? #MODEL 3 Responsibilities of Deacons (3:8-13)Meet needs according to the Word.Support the ministry of the Word.Unify the body around the Word.Model the character of Christ is appropriate here to. 1. Pastors (3:1–7)Generally/summarily: “Above reproach” or “blameless” literally “nothing to take hold upon”; irreproachable observable conduct.“Faithful to his wife” literally “one woman man”Can mean one wife for life thus excluding divorced and/or remarried men (in every case though? No)What about the innocent party when the other was unfaithful?Paul allowed a new believer to let their unbelieving spouse leave the marriage Would not exclude widowers who remarry; Paul may not have ever married—wished for followers to be single like he; Paul encouraged young widows to remarryDoes not require marriage but seems to lean in that direction; this tends to take care of itself in that the typical pool of candidates is usually mostly married menPolygamy obviously not okMost likely meaning: Faithful to your current (some would say one and only) wife in every area of life. From porn to adultery, you are faithful. To not be is to be disqualified.Self-masteryTemperate—sober; clear-headedSelf-controlled—sensible; disciplinedRespectable—the outward expression of an inward self-control Hospitality—showing love to strangers (whether a traveling preacher or a needy church attender)Able to teach—specifically, the word of God. This is our authority and we must know it, believe it, and obey it. This is gifting and a skill.Drinking habits—While drinking is not forbidden by scripture, it is treated as the depressant that it is. A depressant that impairs about ability to make good judgments. This is why in the Old TestamentPriests weren't to drink while on dutyKings were discouraged from becoming drunkMagistrates were warned that they would more likely pervert justice under the influenceProphets would struggle to teach under the influenceSo it makes sense that Paul would discourage it to those who lead and teach in the churchTemper and temperamentGentle—humbly gracious and yielded or even submissiveNot violent—not a bully physically or verballyNot quarrelsome—patient with difficult people; not argumentativeAttitude to money—not a lover of money; greedyDomestic disciplineAnalogy between the family and the church family (Oikos = household)If you don't discipline at home well, you won't discipline the church well, if at allSpiritual maturity—not a new believer or pride may take him down; first called “elders” because they were senior in age and mature in faithOutside reputation—the non-Christian public2. Deacons (3:8–13)—these qualifications have a lot of overlap with elders including able to teach, at some levelSelf-masteryWorthy of respectSincere—genuine, authentic, honestNot indulging in much wineNot pursuing dishonest gainOrthodox convictionsThey must keep hold of the deep truths (mysteries or sum total of the revealed truths of the faith) of THE faith (not just any faith) with a clear conscience (as opposed to letting go of these truths like false teachers).Trusting & ObeyingTested and approved—period of probation where the congregation can assess your character, beliefs and gifts of the candidates.Irreproachable home lifeIf a woman deacon or wife of a deaconWorthy of respectNot malicious talkers (gossipers)TemperateTrustworthy in everythingDomestic disciplineFaithful to his wifeManages his household wellIf served well so far they receiveAn excellent standingGreat assurance in their faith in Jesus ChristD.

(Not perfect, but morally pure)Is this person honoring Christ in the home?If a woman, Is she worthy of respect?Is she a malicious talker?Is she temperate and trustworthy in everything?Is she faithful to her husband?In conclusion, let's ask some summary questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. The qualifications for pastors/elders and deacons.Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. Because they are to select their leaders based on these qualifications.Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. 1. Choose qualified leaders to lead your church.Become a qualified leader whether you are ever selected or not.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. Because this is what a true disciple of Jesus Christ looks like and what we're to become over time.Q. How can they begin to do this?A. 1. Take the test yourself. Go through the qualifications and grading yourself.Repent where appropriate and believe that God can transform you into a qualified leader.PrayNOTESElders in the New Testament are tasked with several key duties, including:1. **Spiritual Oversight:** Providing spiritual guidance and leadership to the church community.2. **Teaching and Doctrine:** Instructing and ensuring adherence to sound biblical doctrine.3. **Shepherding the Flock:** Caring for the well-being of the congregation, like a shepherd caring for a flock.4. **Modeling Character:** Demonstrating a godly and mature character for others to follow.5. **Prayer:** Engaging in prayer for the church and its members.6. **Protecting from False Teaching:** Guarding the congregation against false doctrines or teachings.These duties are outlined in passages like 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9 and 1 Peter 5:1-5 in the New Testament.OUTLINESBKC OutlineI.

Series: Guard the TreasureTitle: Overcoming obstacles to fruitfulness in the churchScripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-15 NIV (More below)Genesis 1:26-27; 2 & 3Bottom Line: We overcome these 3 obstacles to being a fruitful church through pure and peaceful prayer, good deeds, and submitting to God's design for leadership.SERMON OUTLINENOTESOUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDSERMON OUTLINEIntroductionIt's probably not hard to imagine a church where there are men and/or women distorting God's word as they teach or lead their SS class or small group. Maybe you've seen this before.It's not hard to imagine a church where men are arguing over how to lead a church. Where men are not right on the inside and yet trying to lead their family and/or their church family. As a result, they become divisive undermining leadership. Have you experienced this in churches before?It's not hard to imagine women being a distraction in church through immodest, distracting, or even seductive dress. Women who are about drawing attention to themselves. Women who are distracting everyone from the one they came to worship. It's not hard to imagine a church being tempted to change their beliefs, doctrines, and practices because of the pressures of the culture at large. Pressures to change how to lead a church and the roles of men and women. ContextAll of these are being addressed by the Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 1-2. Paul is coaching Timothy through how to handle these challenges in the church at Ephesus. My goal today is to help us see how to overcome 3 of these obstacles to fruitfulness in the church. The divisiveness of men, The distraction of women, and The distinct roles of leadership in the local church.My aim is to show how Paul teaches us how to overcome these obstacles to fruitfulness in church. He does so by exhorting us towards:Praying with a pure heart before God and at peace with each other, Adoring God with godliness instead of adorning ourselves as narcissists, andResting in God's design for leadership in the home and the church.OUTLINE (Based on Wiersbe & Platt)LAST WEEKI. The Church and Its Message (1)A. Teaching sound doctrine (1:1–11)B. Preaching a glorious Gospel (1:12–17)C. Defending the faith (1:18–20)II. The Church and Its Members (2–3)A. Praying men (2:1–8)1. For rulers (2:1–3)2. For sinners (2:4–8)THIS WEEKIII. To divisive men in the church (2:8)A. Pray with purity before God.B. Pray with peace before others.IV. To distracting women in the church (2:9-10)A. Adorn yourself with modest dress.Do not draw attention to physical beauty. Do not draw attention to worldly wealth.B. Adore God through a Christlike demeanor.V. On the distinctive roles of men and women in the church (2:11-15)A. Two principles:The principle of harmony: We interpret each scripture in light of all scripture.Ex. The Trinity. Bible says that God the Father is God, Jesus is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. Yet nowhere does it outright state that. A thorough study of the Bible shows that God is one and that at the same time God relates as 3 persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We use all of scripture to interpret each scripture. There are no contradictions—just apparent contradictions. God is the author of scripture. (2 Tim 3:16)Therefore, it all must be true and not contradict.The principle of history: God has revealed scriptural truth in the context of specific historical and cultural settings.B. Two reminders:God created men and women with equal dignity.God created men and women with complementary roles.For ex. God and Jesus are both God. Therefore, equal.Yet, they have different roles. Father directsSon submitsIn the same way, men and women are equal in value but having differing (complementary) roles in the church.We see this in the home as well. (Eph 5:22-32; Gen 1-3)C. Two prohibitionsWomen should not teach as elders/pastors/overseers in the church.Women should not lead as elders/pastor/overseers in the church.The way elders lead with authority in the church is through humbly, faithfully teaching the church how to obey scripture.When gladly submitted to the elders, women are encouraged to lead out in all other areas of the church. Are there other positions that women should not lead in? Consider 2 questions when wrestling with this:D. Two questionsAs a women teaches/leads, is she reflecting God's pattern in scripture?As a woman teaches/leads, is she reinforcing God's priorities in the home?E. Two reasonsGod's design in Creation: God gives authority to man.Satan's distortion of creation: man abdicates authority to woman.F. Two things we don't know for sureIs 1 Tim 2:15 talking about salvation through the offspring of Eve?Is 2 Tim 2:15 talking about the significance of women nurturing children?G. Two things we know for sureWomen are sanctified as they glorify God in the distinct roles and responsibilities He has entrusted to them.Women are saved not through the birth of a child but through the death of Christ, who died to make us the men and women God created us to be.ApplicationOnly qualified men are to be pastors/elders in the church. Pastors/elders are who regularly teach and preach to the entire church. P/E are who exercises authority in the church regarding church discipline.Some conclude that women should not teach at all. But that is not what this passage nor the NT says. Women are instructed to teach younger women. (Titus 2)Women are instructed along with men and young people to teach others to obey everything that Jesus commanded (Matt 28).Women are able to pray and prophecy in the church service (1 Cor 11 & 14). Women are able to lead and teach in every ministry in the church as long as it does not require her to function as an elder or pastor.Ex. Women should not preach at a church every week. However, I do think that she can, under the authority of the elders/pastors, on occasion. I would say the same about a SS class or home group. It wouldn't be that she would lead her own coed SS class or home group. However, I have no problem with her leading one of those as needed, again, under the authority of the elders/pastors. ConclusionBottom Line: We overcome these 3 obstacles to being a fruitful church through pure and peaceful prayer, good deeds, and submitting to God's design for leadership.In conclusion, let's ask some summary questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. 3 obstacles to fruitful, godly, holy, true, disciple-making livesQ. Why do I want them to know it?A. Because they are prevalent in our churches today.Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. Overcome these obstacles to fruitfulness in family and church byPraying with a pure heart before God and at peace with each other, Adoring God with godliness instead of adorning ourselves as narcissists, andResting in God's design for leadership in the home and the church.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. This will lead our homes and churches towards fruitfulness: godly, holy, truth-saturated disciple-making.Q. How can they begin to do this?A. By asking God for the grace to live out this passage each day.

While we all may be behaving as if the pandemic is over, it isn't. And the residual effects of the last two years will clearly be felt for some time to come. Nobody knows that more than people in the hospitality community. A few weeks back, Greg Engert & Michael Babin of Neighborhood Restaurant Group reopened their flagship Churchkey to much well-deserved fanfare. It's been a minute since the three of us have had a chance to catch up. Tune into Industry Night with Nycci Nellis on Real Fun DC.

There are towns where everything feels right. Sperryville is the little town tucked in the Shenandoah mountains where you run to when you need to escape the city. Yet a trip to Sperryville is only made whole when you taste the goodness of the native beer, natural cider and wine of Pen Druid Fermentation. Mike sits down with Jennings Carney, co-owner of Pen Druid Fermentation. Jennings is one of three Carney brothers who operate the company. He shares about the evolution from Pen Druid Brewing to Pen Druid Fermentation, how long the brewing process takes to get the beer from the barrel to the glass, how the seasons truly affect the brewing process, the intention that goes into the ingredients of each batch, and why it's so worth making the trip to Pen Druid in beautiful Sperryville. Lastly, Jennings tells us all about Yeaster, an upcoming event that includes a delicious lamb roast, cider release, and wine & food pairings from Domestique Wine and Sumac Restaurant. In other news Jake, Brandy, and Mike revel in the wonder of dry beers & ciders, and share exciting news about ChurchKey, Silver Branch, and Old Ox. Other shoutouts and beer releases include Red Shedman Brewery, Manor Hill, and Other Half. Keep up to date with everything happening at DCBeer.com, @DCBeer on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

There is reason for cautious optimism for breweries amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Richard speaks with three guests about how the recent signing of the CARES Act will help breweries, how breweries and restaurants are quickly adapting to the new market, and what publishers are doing to help struggling breweries.The Brewers' Association Looks to Build Upon the CARES ActBob Pease, President and CEO of the Brewers' Association (BA) gives Richard his thoughts about how the CARES Act could help craft breweries during the coronavirus pandemic. He lists several potentially beneficial provisions of the CARES Act for BA members: SBA Emergency Loans could be enormously helpful in keeping businesses afloat; Employee Retention Tax Credit and Payroll Tax Delays could help maintain brewery employment and cash flow; $1,200 payments to most Americans could result in an increase in consumer purchases of craft beer; and  Excise tax waiver on alcohol to make hand sanitizer could provide financial incentive for breweries to help assist their local communities. BA is also hosting Power Hours to educate its members on how to take advantage of these provisions, which are expected to provide much-needed support to craft breweries and brewpubs that generate most of their revenue from in-store salesBA's next lobbying target is to include a $900 million tax credit in the next Congressional stimulus bill to help breweries, distributors, and retailers cushion the losses from unused bottled and canned beers that will likely expire during the pandemic. And, most importantly, YOU can still support your local breweries by ordering delivery/pick up beers and buying gift cards and merchandise.Neighborhood Restaurant Group Consolidates Resources to Deliver Food and AlcoholGreg Engert discusses the Neighborhood Restaurant Group's (NRG's) new effort to provide high-quality food and beverages to DC, Alexandria, and Arlington called “Neighborhood Provisions” (check out if you live in one of its delivery zones). The Neighborhood Provisions online platform offers beer, wine, spirits, hot meals, grocery items, and more from many of NRG's 20 locations. All items are locally made and distributed. And, most importantly, it is keeping many employees on the payroll.NRG's new platform is hosting several fun initiatives in the coming weeks. For example, local DC chefs will be preparing special family-sized meals on select evenings. NRG will also hold flash sales from some of its breweries, including Bluejacket and Churchkey. Engert believes that Neighborhood Provisions's new offerings will continue beyond the pandemic.  Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine Is Offerings $100,000 in Advertising GrantsJohn Bolton of Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine is doing his part to keep craft breweries afloat. His magazine is issuing $100,000 in advertising grants across its online and print platforms for craft breweries negatively impacted by COVID-19. Craft breweries have until April 7, 2020 to submit applications for individual grants worth up to $5,000.Bolton is also considering offering micro-grants for some small craft breweries that would benefit from smaller, more targeted advertising campaigns. He hopes that this effort can ultimately help craft breweries survive during the pandemic.You can catch up on all the DC Beer Show episodes here, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter, the DC Beer Weekly Pour.

Neighborhood Restaurant Group has recently opened its newest location in NYC's Lower East Side - The Grand Delancy. Greg Engert sits down at Churchkey in DC to talk about the new establishment, beer trend, and a nice little recap on beer for 2019.  Powered and distributed by Simplecast

Richard teams up with DC Beer contributors Jacob Berg and Michael Stein to look back at the 2019 DC-area craft brewing scene and to speculate what's to come in 2020. They say goodbye to a few cherished DC beer establishments, while also sharing optimistic outlooks for the continued growth of craft brewing in the region. Casualties and Opportunities of the Changing DC Beer Market2019 witnessed the closing of Meridian Pint and Mad Fox. These two brewpubs, which relied heavily upon “beer events” to generate revenue, struggled to compete against the influx of local craft breweries.At the same time, there were a number of craft brewery openings in DC including Red Bear, Astro Lab, Valor, Silver Branch, Sapwood, which are already producing high-quality brews. Established breweries like District ChopHouse, Churchkey, The Sovereign, and DC Brau continue to make great beers. The DC Beer team has also noticed that several breweries are beginning to produce more low-ABV/low-calorie beers (and even some Hard Seltzers) in an effort to meet customer demands and expand their customer bases.The Year of Beer CollaborationsIn 2019, DC Beer's 10 Beers for 10 Years series featured a number of beer collaborations with local breweries, including the District ChopHouse Decade Dunkel, the Denizen Bock to the Future, and the Sapwood Cellars 3.8 Special Session IPA. DC Beer is currently collaborating with Right Proper and Black Brew Movement to create a peach-flavored Saison, which will be available in January 2020.Richard promised that DC Beer will continue to partner with local breweries for more collaborations in the future. Stay tuned!Expect More Excitement in 2020The DC area will welcome some new breweries in 2020, including the City-State Brewing Co. In addition, Atlas Brewing and RAR are opening new sites in Navy Yard, while the Other Half is expanding into Ivy City.After another successful SAVOR in May 2019, the annual beer event hosted by the Brewers Association will hold its May 2020 event at The Anthem in Southwest Waterfront. The DC Beer team believes that this location change will help to reinvigorate the event with an improved food selection.Overall, the DC Beer team has a lot to be happy about in 2019, and is expecting big things as we approach 2020. Catch up on all the DC Beer Show episodes here, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter, the DC Beer Weekly Pour.

Recorded at the Partisan in Washington, DC, Matty and Noah get to talk with the Michael Jordan of beer and hospitality expertise - Greg Engert. In addition to being Matt's personal hero, Greg is the beer director for Neighborhood Restaurant Group, an organization that operates roughly twenty bars and restaurants in the capital region, including Bluejacket and Churchkey. He sheds invaluable light on the benefits of having so many irons in the fire, weighs in on the changes he's seen in craft beer culture since starting with NRG (spoiler alert: they're not all good), and explains why we should all be drinking more cask beer. The podcast is also blessed with it's first live poetry reading, and you can be as sure there's value here as you're sure ice cream melts.

This special episode of the DC Beer Show is all about the 8th annual Snallygaster, happening Saturday, October 12, 2019.Snallygaster, a one-day beer festival put on by the beer minds behind Bluejacket, Churchkey, Sovereign and more, takes place directly on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC and will showcase 400 different beers from around the world. While it can be a bit overwhelming to know how to navigate and what to try, the DC Beer Show has your back!Out of the 400 beers at Snallygaster, 100 of them will be Hazy IPAs, Hazy Pale Ales, or Double Hazy beers. There will also be 110 sour beers with adjuncts, and 55 stouts either barrel-aged or adjunct. These are the top three types of beers that will be showcased at the Snallygaster event, but so many more will be on-site to try - from pilsners to ciders, lagers, saisons and more.To help you make a decision on where you may want to start, or beers you can't miss, Sarah Jane Curran, host of Beer Me on Full-Service Radio and Jake Berg, Editor of the DCBeer.com join Richard to share their top picks. They each give their overall top five beers you need to try, while also giving the top beers to try in each category (IPA, Sours, Stouts, even Line Beers).Make sure to check out the Snallygaster Power Rankings to help you navigate, located on DCBeer.com!

Greg Engert is a leader of the craft beer experience in the DMV and in this episode, he visits with the Brew Daddies to talk about how he started and shaped some of the region's top venues and events, including Churchkey, The Sovereign, Bluejacket, and Snallygaster.Greg is a self-taught beer connoisseur and he discusses whether that is even a possibility for someone entering the craft beer industry today and how famed beer writer Michael Jackson influenced him at a young age.As Neighborhood Restaurant Group's (NRG) Beer Director, overseeing more than 20 locations across the DMV, Greg has strived to make it the norm to pair food with beer, not just wine. He encourages patrons to step out of their comfort zone and try beers that they may not otherwise notice but that pair well with their meal.This is a great conversation and one of our favorite episodes of the Show to date!

Jeff tells the Brew Daddies about some of the challenges that come with working with brand new stainless steel kegs, and jokes about the technological advances that this new location has versus the Silver Springs location. The Denizens Riverdale Park Station location will be opening on May 25, 2019!

What is the backbone of our strength as a nation? In this episode from Washington DC, former Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and The Salt Line chef Kyle Bailey sit down with host Billy Shore to discuss the economic vitality of our country. “We’re in a [global] competition for which system of government works best in a time of change. We always thought that once we won the Cold War… democracy was the best way to do it and everyone was going to see that,” says Vilsack. Bailey’s focus on sustainable seafood sourcing cooperatives aims to democratize food and support people whose livelihoods rely on fishing. “The idea was to cut a couple steps out of the supply chain to get the freshest and best fish, and it gets money back into the pockets of the actual fisherman,” says Bailey. The guests discuss the impact of the current political disagreements around immigration, which affects the restaurant industry and many others. “Immigrant populations have historically done the jobs that are really hard. When we’re fearful, the whole American experience gets interrupted,” notes Vilsack. “Yeah, [democracy] is a little messy but eventually it gets the job done in a way doesn’t limit people’s freedoms and abilities.” Get informed and inspired as these two guests share their thoughts about politics, sustainable food and agriculture.

Welcome to this special edition of the GBH podcast, which forms part of our Coming to America series, brought to you in collaboration with Guinness. Before we get started today, I want to tell you how excited I am about bringing our Uppers and Downers festival of coffee, beer and coffee beers to London this May. It takes place at Mick’s Garage in Hackney Wick on Saturday May 19th and will feature over 30 exceptional brewers and roasters—including today’s guests, Boundary—each collaborating on some new and exclusive beers that you’ll only be able to try at the event. Tickets are limited and selling fast, so head over to goodbeerhunting.com and hit get tickets to secure your space. In our Coming to America series we’ve brought you stories about upstart and iconic breweries from around the world that have been impacting U.S. drinkers for generations, and those that are just beginning to make the journey. Stories like how Pilsner Urquell originally came to the US, and how young breweries like Denmark’s Alefarm are trying to find their place in the same market in the age of modern and local. Today’s guest is Matthew Dick, co-founder of Boundary Brewing Cooperative, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. If you read our article on Boundary back in May 2016 then you’ll already be somewhat familiar with this Northern Irish upstart, which is only the second brewery to open in Belfast. Using the cooperative model as a base, which Dick will explain in detail later in this episode, Boundary began its journey in 2015, thanks to the investments made by over 1000 owner-members. It’s a model that’s relatively unique within the UK brewing industry, but its one that’s so far proved successful for this young business Before the brewery opened however, Dick spent many years living out in the United States. He met his wife in Reno, Nevada, where he lived for several years, and latterly he spent some time in Austin, Texas, where he worked for the now defunct homebrew equipment manufacturer, Brewbot. To say that the US brewing scene inspired Dick—in particular breweries working with barrels and mixed-fermentation beers like Jester King—would be something of an understatement. An American-inspired entrepreneurial spirit resonates through everything that Boundary does. With three years under its belt it’s starting to become established in its home markets of the UK and Ireland, but this isn’t without its challenges, especially with the ever-darker clouds of Brexit looming on the horizon. Now, however, Boundary is beginning to look further afield and after securing a distribution deal with Shelton Brothers it has started to export its beer to the US. Boundary had the honor of taking over the taps at DC’s Churchkey this past St. Patrick’s Day. It also recently debuted its beer in New York City with an event at The Jeffrey. In this episode we’ll learn about the value of these US exports to such a small brewery, and how it balances this alongside activity the needs of its domestic market.

“Mischief-Maker.” “Jester.” These are the type of words Niket Desai uses to describe himself. Yeah, a more appropriate title would be “Internet Entrepreneur” or “Investor,” but it’s all about his “don’t take yourself too seriously” outlook… Niket has had a lot of fun in his life and career. From founding and selling the loyalty app startup Punchd to Google, to traveling and living around the world (including spots like Singapore and Israel) this episode is full of serendipity and the stories to go along with those. We cover everything from the lessons Niket’s learned working in the tech industry, some of the fun he’s currently having in the restaurant business, and even a pretty big discussion around how his travels have opened his mind to other worldviews (and in turn a deeper appreciation for differing perspectives). Niket introduced me to Church Key for this episode, which has since become one of my favorite San Francisco beer bars.

John Holl, editor of All About Beer, joins the discussion as well, which tackles hot-button issues like craft-beer buyouts by brewing conglomerates.

Thank you   Mark, you called me out for being "competitive" and I am. Challenge accepted! Like I told you, we don't have "Church Micros" here in the states. What we have are "Spirit Quest" caches in cemeteries. In fact, of my 5700 finds I had found only two with the word "church" in the title. I did a quick search and found that there are exactly six caches containing the word "church" within a 30-mile radius of my house. I knew the chances were slim, but I wasn't about to let that stop me from trying. One of the caches had a string of DNFs and was clearly missing, so that one was dropped from my list right away.   I headed out Sunday afternoon, in 15*F temps and getting over a bad cold, to find the other 5. The first cache I went to was Church Road Park (GCX1W0), which was about a half an hour from my house. The park was not surprisingly abandoned, and I made the relatively easy trek to GZ where I stood scratching my head. It's very possible that the snow and frozen ground caused me to search the wrong part of the right host, but it's also a possibility that the host has been altered since the cache was last found. Or it's even more possible that I was searching the wrong host altogether, although I did expand my search by up to 50 feet in all directions. DNF. Bummer. I remembered that I had a backup "church" cache about 50 miles in the other direction that was near where I pick up my son from his dad's house, so there was still a chance of finding five.    I moved on to the second cache, Churchill Island (GC1N3CT). The walk to GZ was quiet and peaceful. I stopped for a few pictures along the way. I got to GZ and searched for a good half an hour, digging through the foot of snow on the ground with a stick, poking along in the hopes that I would stumble across the container. Unfortunately the snow made this one much too difficult, and the GPS bounce didn't help matters. Even a quick PAF didn't help. So I had to walk away without a smiley. Strike two. By this time I was cold and frustrated. But I am not a quitter.   I wasn't far from the third cache, Churchville Cemetery "Illinois Spirit Quest" (GC2V1M1), so I headed over. It's a multi placed by my friend, Dutchlandian, from Holland. (Hi Ans!) I arrived at the posted coords and thought there was no way I'd be able to read the headstone with all of the snow. Luckily though I was able to brush away the top few inches, which was enough to read all of the inscriptions. I did some quick calculations and was off to the final. Finally! I am so glad this one is hidden where and how it is, so that I could get at least one smiley today!    I was feeling a little more optimistic now, and moved on to Who Has a "Church Key" (GC29ZHV). The closest parking was about 500 feet away and I had to walk along a busy road to get to GZ. I wasn't sure what to expect here, given the large percentage of DNFs and the fact that the description says it's not winter friendly. I was happy to find that the "rock" (a Rolling Rock bottle cap) that the cache is under according to the hint was in full view! Somehow there was no snow on the ground in only this one small area. I seemed to be on a roll. But then ... I tried to pick up the cache. It wouldn't budge. I found a stick and tried to pry it up. It started to move a little, so I wedged my finger between it and the ground and pulled. Something came loose all right, but it was just the bottle cap, and the cache itself was still stuck in the frozen ground. The wire attaching the cap to the cache pulled right through the cap. Oh no! I broke the cache! (An apology email was sent to the C.O.) I tried and tried, but the ground was just too frozen and I could not get the container unstuck. Despite finding the cache, I could not put my signature on the log so no smiley here for me.   So at only one find out of four attempts, most people would probably just go home. Not me though. I was only a mile or so from the last cache, Anybody Got a Church Key? (GC5AF83), and had no choice but to finish my list. This one is on private property (with permission of course), around the back side of a small local brewery, Church Street Brewing Company. Even though it was Sunday and there was no one around, I still felt a bit uneasy walking around the building. I was very happy that this was a quick and easy find! Retrieval and replacement on the other hand, not so easy being only 5 feet tall. But I got the job done.    Final stats for the day: 4 hours, 70 miles, 5 attempts, 2 finds. February Challenge = DNF.   Thanks for the fun adventure! I'm looking forward to next month's challenge.   shortyknits Ask Doctor D.. Greetings, Doctor D, from Detroit, Michigan - USA! I’m scrapcat, and I have an etiquette question about Favorite points. Recently, I had two different experiences where cachers wrote in their logs that they were giving my cache a Favorite Point.  But when I check the “Who Favorited this cache…” their favorite points weren’t listed.  I’m assuming they either forgot to do it or changed their mind or don’t know how to do it. Is it appropriate to contact them and ask them to add the favorite point? And, if so, what is the best way to go about it without alienating them? Thank you and happy caching! S.
