Two Men You Ought to Know (7 of 12)
Series: Philippians
Collin Wimberly
Philippians 2:19-30
CIT: Paul tells the Philippian church of his plans to send Timothy to them soon, and his reasons for sending Epaphroditus immediately.
PROPOSITION: The character of Timothy and Epaphroditus make them two men that all of us ought to know.
INTRODUCTION:
ILLUS: I love football. The Dallas Cowboys of the eighties were a remarkable team. But you know, I tried to remember the starting lineup of either their offense or their defense, and failed. Oh, I remember three or four on each team, but you know I thought I would always remember them! Famous back then, but forgotten today. Bobby Richardson talks about this in a poem at the end of his book on his life. If your batting average is up, everybody knows your name. everybody knows who plays second base for the Yankees, but three, four, five years later, ''Who was that fellow?'' Famous then, but forgotten now. This could be used in any field, stardom, scientists. They've come and gone. Men honor and highlight the famous and then they forget them. God, however, remembers and never forgets. In our passage, we find a description of two men you ought to know. Two men who were great in the kingdom of God and whom God wants remembered. What is it about them that made them so great? Their integrity and their humility. Two things God values. Two things that ought to be plainly seen in our lives.

He was only a teen-ager at the time, probably became the pastor of the Church at Ephesus when he was in his late 20's or 30's. He was part of the evangelism team that started the church at Philippi.The first truth we find about Timothy is that he was a di ...
