Authentic Godliness

Pastor McLachlan's sermon outline from this morning:

I Timothy 6:11-16, "But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen."

The Shape of Authentic Godliness:


  1. The ethical component (vs 11): "flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness"
  2. The doctrinal component (vs 12a): "Fight the good fight of faith"
  3. The experiential component (vs 12b): "lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses"


Pastor McLachlan's last Sunday will be May 20th. Today the members of the pulpit committee were announced.
