1. TODAY, YOU CAN: Be Impressive Give people good reasons to look up to you, instead of looking down. –1 Timothy 4:12 What kind of example are you setting? Avoid Evil All Together –1 Corinthians 14:20 Getting Started: Learn to appreciate and to give real love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-13) The Blessing: Admired, Respected, and Inspire More Positive Attention.

2. TODAY, YOU CAN: Pay Attention Make the most of everything said. –1 Timothy 4:13 When Scripture Is Read: –Follow Along In Your Bible, Ask Yourself How That Verse Can Help You, Examine The Context When Exhortation (A call to do better) Is Given: –Think About Your Life - Is There Some Way For You To Get Closer To God? (2 Timothy 3:16) When Teaching Is Going On: –Get Involved, Ask Your Questions, Try To Think Long Term, Not Just Short Term.

3. TODAY, YOU CAN: Use Your Gifts God Gives Us Gifts To Use! –1 Timothy 4:14 Now, Is The Time To Discover Your Gifts –Proclaiming God’s Word –Serving Others –Teaching –Exhorting –Giving (Far More Than Just Money) –Leading –Showing Mercy

4. TODAY, YOU CAN: Work Hard & Play Hard If you really want to get the most out of church, then it requires diligence, just like everything else in life. –1 Timothy 4:15 Don’t Forget That We Play Hard Too! –Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 “Take Pains” “Be Absorbed” Make “Progress”

5. TODAY, YOU CAN: Keep On Going Finally, pay attention to these first four keys, so that if the going gets tough instead of giving up - you “persevere.” –1 Timothy 4:16 There always have been and always will be some unfaithful people causing problems. –Contend Earnestly (Jude 1:1-3) –Problems in the Past (Jude 1:5-11) –Problems in the Church (Jude 1:12-19) –Persevere despite the Problems (Jude 1:20-21) You stay focused and faithful.
