2 Timothy - Follow the Leader


We are learning about 2 Timothy in Kids Church just like the adults are learning in the adult service.

In 2 Timothy 3:14 Paul said to Timothy, "...as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of..."

Are there things that you have learned from your leaders? Are you convinced they are right? It's important to listen and learn -- but that will not count for much if we are not convinced that they are right and true. If our leaders are right and true, then we should follow their directions and their examples.

Here are some verses that talk about following good leaders:

2 Timothy 1:5
2 Timothy 1:13
1 Corinthians 11:1

We need to follow Jesus. But, there are also people that God brings into our lives that help us understand more how God wants us to live. We can follow their example while they follow Christ's example.

It's not always easy to do what is right, but we need to do what's right anyway. Living for Jesus is not always the easiest life, but it's the BEST life.

May God help each of us to live in such a way that we can say to others, "Follow me as I follow Christ."
