In this episode, we build on last week's discussion of the gospel-centered teacher by expanding our focus to the larger church community. Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 2:20–26 show us what it means to be a clean vessel and a faithful servant within God's household. This message isn’t just for teachers—it's for everyone in the church.

Key Topics:

The Clean Vessel (vv. 20–22)
- The church contains both honorable and dishonorable vessels—faithful and unfaithful servants.
- Honorable vessels are cleansed, set apart, and useful for every good work.
- We’re called to flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, embodying holiness in both doctrine and character.
The Lord’s Servant (vv. 23–26)
- God’s servants avoid foolish controversies and refuse to be quarrelsome.
- They must be kind, patient, and correct opponents with gentleness.
- The aim is not to win arguments, but to win souls—praying that God grants repentance and freedom from the enemy’s snare.
Who Is Sufficient?
- The call to be a holy vessel and gentle servant is weighty, but we’re not left to ourselves.
- Jesus is our model and our means—He is the perfect workman, vessel, and servant.
- Through Him, we are made sufficient for every good work.

Quote of the Week:
“It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus.” – Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Join us as we reflect on what it means to be vessels of honor, ready for the Master’s use, and committed to gentle, gospel-centered correction in a world filled with strife.
