I. LOVES God’s Children! (I Corinthians 4: 14-15)

“I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you. 15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.”

Love is the KEY! (I John 4: 7-11)


II. LEADS God’s Children! (I Corinthians 4: 16)

“Therefore I urge you, imitate me.”

Leadership is important! (Joshua 24: 14-15)


III. PROVIDES for God’s Children! (I Corinthians 4: 17)

“For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.”

God’s Word is to be FIRST! (John 14: 23-31)


IV. SPEAKS the TRUTH to God’s Children!
(I Corinthians 4: 18-21)

“Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you. 19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. 20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. 21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?”


We are to SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE!
(Ephesians 4: 15-16 & 25-32)
