Sermon Outline
How to Love Your Pastor With
Overwhelming Love
___________________________
Follow the Pattern of Onesiphorus
– Second Timothy –
_____________________________
1. He Cheered Him Up – “The Lord Grant the household of
Onesiphorus, For he often refreshed me [cheered me up]” (1:16a).
2. He Held Him Up – “[He] was not ashamed Of my chains [respected
me]”(1”16b).
3. He Looked Him Up – “When he arrived in Rome, he sought me out
very zealously and Found me” (1:17).
4. He Lifted Him Up – “You know very well How many ways he
ministered to me at Ephesus” (1:18).
The love pattern of Onesiphorus can be very effective. Here are four things
you can do.
• Refresh your pastor through words of appreciation, respect, and
encouragement.
• Stand with your pastor during difficult times.
• Discover your pastor’s needs and help meet them.
• Word side by side with your pastor in ministry.
