Good morning and welcome to our second service on Sunday mornings.

We're going through the Bible verse by verse.

And today we are in 1 Timothy, Chapter 5. Lord willing, we'll finish chapter 5 today.

Our text is going to be verses 17 through 25. I would encourage

you to turn there at this time. And as you do, I wanted to, by way of a reminder, let you know

that we're in the process of launching a new website at J.D.Farag.org. There should be a link

to that site below in the description of this video,

for those of you online. What we need you to do is enter your email address and subscribe

so that you can start receiving notifications when we get the site up and running.

This is going to be the go-to site for not just the prophecy updates, but the teachings

that we're going to hopefully, Lord willing, have more of an interactive site at this URL

of J.D.Farag.org.

So I want to encourage you to do that. And with that, let's get into

the Word. 1 Timothy chapter 5. We're going to pick it up in verse 17. We left off in verse 16 last

week. I'll ask those of you here, if you're able to stand. You can follow along as I read.

If not, where you're seated is fine.

The Apostle Paul is writing to Timothy, and this is a very interesting passage of Scripture,

as I think you're going to see here shortly.

Verse 17, he says, the elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double

honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. For scripture says, verse 18, do not muzzle an ox while it is

treading out the grain. And the worker deserves his wages.

Do not, verse 19, entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.
