Short sermon excerpt (YouTube) by Dave Willis encouraging listeners using First Timothy 4:12: don’t allow perceived disqualifications (e.g., youth, age, gender, spouse’s traits) to prevent setting a positive example now; urges believers to build one another up and live out faith, love, and purity in the present season.

Chapters

I love this verse. First Timothy, chapter 4, verse 12 says, don't let anyone look down on you because you are young. But instead set an example to the believers in what you say, in how you live, in your love, your faith and your purity. Now, I think this can be great for us because in place of that, because you are young, if you take that word young out and insert whatever in your life you feel like disqualifies you. Yes, yes. Then this relates to all of us. Don't let anyone look down on you because you're young, because you're old, because you're female, because you're a male, anything. And don't let anybody look down on your spouse because they are whatever that is. Right. And you don't look down on them either. But build each other up. Set an example in the way you live so all of us have the full capacity right now, right in the season of life, to set a positive example. You don't have to wait to someday graduate to this super sphere of spirituality right where you are today. You can start setting the right example and challenging you and your spouse together to do that.
