When we think about people like the apostle Paul and Jesus Christ, we are intimidated by their example. However there are plenty of normal, average, people in the Bible. One of those people is the sidekick of the apostle Paul, Timothy. Turns out Timothy was a great asset to Paul. In spite of some limitations which I will share in the upcoming sermon, Timothy turns out to be one of the most important people in the New Testament. One of Timothy’s chief characteristics was he was ready for anything. At a moment’s notice the apostle Timothy traveled all over the Roman empire at the bidding of the apostle Paul. But Paul didn’t consider Timothy his servant but rather he considered him a coworker. Timothy was ready to be equipped by Paul. Timothy encouraged people. Timothy helped Paul expand Christ’s footprint in the Roman empire. This Sunday we will see how normal people can have a great impact if they are ready for anything.
