Caring for the Needy Pt. 1

The church is a spiritual family committed to caring for one another. In 1 Timothy 5.3-16, we see this is especially true when it comes to widows in the church. If the church is going to be faithful to Jesus, we must discern all the various needs within in the body and prioritize caring for those who are truly needy. In these verses there are two main ideas we find:

1) Where We Should Not Prioritize Care and 2) Where We should Prioritize Care.

The ultimate reason the church cares for the needy and vulnerable is because that’s exactly who we were before Christ and God in infinite mercy demonstrated divine care for us in the gospel.
