I Timothy 6:11-12 The Peaceful Life of War- Brother Matthew Mallacoccio

July 10, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Christians are called to be soldiers. Their weapons of warfare are not carnal, but mighty. Intercessory prayer, the proclamation of the Gospel, and sacrificial love. With whom are Christians at war? They are at war with the powers and principalities of this evil age and the corruption that still lies within themselves. The Apostle Paul […]

1 Timothy 6:6-8 The Command and Comfort of Contentment- Matthew Mallacoccio

April 10, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

What is contentment? We all seek it because we were created to. Will the nicest home bring it, or hitting the lottery? Will marriage bring it? Will a multitude of accolades bring it? Can we ever attain contentment through the things of this world or is contentment only achieved through a Person? The Apostle Paul […]

I Timothy 3:7 Qualifications for Overseers Part 6 of 6- What Do We Care What Outsiders Think?

March 28, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Throughout this series you likely thought of the potential elder’s character & abilities displayed within the context of the church. How is he seen within the church? How is he viewed by the saints? But this verse leaves the confines of the covenant community & says he must have a good reputation with those outside the church. But don’t […]

I Timothy 3:6- Qualifications for Overseers- Part 5 of 6-The Danger of Appointing a Youngster as an Elder

March 20, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

We have seen a lot of ways that a man can be disqualified from the ministry so far in this series. But it is possible for a man to be qualified in every way we have covered so far, but for it to still be unwise to appoint him as an elder. Today we will […]

I Timothy 3:4-5 Qualifications for Overseers- Part 4 of 6- The Man at Home

March 13, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

So far we have seen the positive character qualities that an elder must possess. We have considered his giftedness. And we have been warned concerning some potential disqualifying idols. Now this week we are getting personal. I know, you probably think we’ve been pretty personal the entire time, but now we are stepping right though […]

I Tim. 3:3 Qualifications for Overseers- Part 3 of 6- Not a Slave to Idols

March 6, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Alcohol, anger, and assets are hot button issues in Christian circles. Many people presuppose that a man who drinks any alcohol, displays any anger, or accumulates any real wealth is intrinsically less holy than a man who completely abstains from alcohol, who never displays aggression, or who is poor. But is that what the Bible […]

I Timothy 3:2 and Titus 1:9 The Qualifications of an Overseer Part 2 of 6 Skillful at Teaching

February 20, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

By itself, being a good teacher, preacher, and communicator of God’s Word does not qualify a man for the office of overseer, but it is still very important. In this sermon Pastor Matt first explains what the phrase ‘able to teach’ means in I Timothy 3:2. Then he walks through Titus 1:9 to show an […]

I Timothy 3:1-7 The Qualifications of an Overseer (Part 1 of 6)

February 13, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Appointing new elders is a big deal! And before a church does so they must understand the solemnity & gravity of what they are doing. They must evaluate the potential overseer to make sure that he meets the qualifications. Why? First, because pastors will give an account to God for the performance of their duties, […]
