There are no small roles in the Kingdom of God! We learned from Paul how significant Tychicus is as God's encouraging messenger. Tychicus is only mentioned in the Bible 5 times, but each times plays a very quiet, yet significant role!

What kind of disciple/messenger am I for God?
What part/role had God asked me to play in the Kingdom?
Do I try to play the role of God (the director) of my life? Wanting things to play out MY way?
Do I truly live for God and He's my only audience that matters?
Who do I think God is (mostly if I feel that I have to be the one to direct my life)?
