Christian Character: The Foundation of Godly Leadership

Sep 28, 2025    Pastor Reid McAteer

In this message, we explore the vital importance of Christian character in our lives and ministries. The central theme revolves around 1 Timothy 3, where Paul outlines the qualifications for church leaders. However, these qualities aren't just for leaders - they're a call to all believers to live lives worthy of the gospel. We're challenged to examine ourselves: Are we hospitable, faithful, and living blamelessly? Do our lives reflect Christ to the world around us? The message reminds us that our character should come before our church responsibilities. It's not about putting on a show on Sundays, but living authentically for Christ every day. This teaching encourages us to be pillars of truth in a world that desperately needs to see genuine faith in action. As we reflect on these qualities, we're invited to draw closer to God, allowing Him to shape us into the image of Christ.
