• HONOR THE CHURCH’S RESPONSIBILITIES 5:16

3. HONOR YOUR WIDOWS 5:3-8
• FIRST LET CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN REPAY THEIR
PARENTS
• FOR THIS IS GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE BEFORE GOD
• IF ANYONE DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN
• HE HAS DENIED THE FAITH AND IS WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER V8
• BUT THE WIDOW WHO IS ALONE, TRUSTS IN GOD
• HER PRAYER LIFE IS A REFLECTION OF THAT
• BUT SHE WHO LIVES IN PLEASURE IS DEAD WHILE SHE LIVES

• BROUGHT UP CHILDREN
• LODGED STRANGERS
• WASHED THE SAINTS’ FEET
• RELIEVED THE AFFLICTED
• DILIGENTLY FOLLOWED EVERY GOOD WORK

5. PROBLEMS 5:11-15
• 11 BUT REFUSE TO ENROLL YOUNGER WIDOWS,
FOR WHEN THEIR PASSIONS DRAW THEM AWAY
FROM CHRIST, THEY DESIRE TO MARRY (ESV)
• THEY COULD POSSIBLY END UP IDLE – GOSSIPS
AND BUSYBODIES
• GET BUSY, GIVE NO OPPORTUNITY TO THE
ADVERSARY TO SPEAK REPROACHFULLY V. 14

6. HONOR THE CHURCH 5:16
• IF ANY BELIEVING MAN OR WOMAN HAS
WIDOWS, LET THEM RELIEVE THEM
• AND DO NOT LET THE CHURCH BE
BURDENED
• THAT IT MAY RELIEVE THOSE WHO ARE REALLY
WIDOWS
• …THAT IT MIGHT MEET ITS OWN
RESPONSIBILITIES (3:14-16)

7. HONOR THE ELDERS 5:17-21
• LET THE ELDER WHO RULE WELL BE COUNTED
WORTHY OF DOUBLE HONOR
• ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LABOR IN THE WORD AND
DOCTRINE
• DO NOT RECEIVE AN ACCUSATION AGAINST AN
ELDER EXCEPT FROM TWO OR THREE WITNESSES

8. HONOR YOUR MASTERS 6:1-2
• HONOR YOUR MASTER,
• THAT THE NAME OF GOD AND THE DOCTRINE BE NOT
BLASPHEMED V.1
• IF YOUR MASTER IS A BROTHER, DO NOT TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THEM BUT RATHER SERVE THEM
• BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE BENEFITED ARE BELIEVER
AND BELOVED V2
