Having hammered the need for godly contentment, Paul uses a real example that all of us can relate to. 1 Timothy 6:9-11, 17-19 speaks to desire of wealth and motive behind it. May this not be true to us.

As Paul begins to land the plane in 1 Timothy, he comes back to the realization of false teachers. They create chaos and lead people astray, but 1 Timothy 6:2b-8 speaks of the contentment that Timothy and all believers are to have in Christ.

In the next section of the letter, Paul gives Timothy instructions for the whole church. He focuses specifically on a few subgroups within the church and how they are to be cared for. What we see in 1 Timothy 5:1-6:2 is the need to exercise proper discernment as we show hospitality.

As Paul continues his letter to Timothy, he has challenged him to lead the people to be committed to gospel training. In this week’s text (1 Timothy 4:9-16), Paul speaks to the difficulty of the training for Timothy and others. This difficulty is not lost on today’s culture and how we experience it. Join us this week to be encouraged to fight for the gospel.

Many of us recognize the need for growth in a physical and intellectual sense. We’ve experienced training with our jobs, schooling, and extra curriculars but what about spiritual training. As Paul writes to Timothy, he speaks to the need for gospel training in 1 Timothy 4:6-8.

Paul warns against spiritual deception and points us back to the truth and goodness of God. Join us as we hear from 1 Timothy 4:1-5!

On the heels of giving qualifications for leadership in the Church, Paul expresses his longing to come to Timothy. However, in the event that he is unable to, he wants Timothy to know. What he wants Timothy to know is the subject of 1 Timothy 3:14-16. Join us this Sunday as we unpack The Pious Life.

Continuing his instructions to the local church, Apostle Paul details two offices of leadership in the Church. Last week, we looked at the office of overseer/elder in 1 Timothy 3:1-7. Now, this week, we look at the instructions that Timothy receives for the office of Deacon. Join us this week as we continue in our series: Entrust.

Continuing his instructions to the local church, Apostle Paul details two offices of leadership in the Church. This week, we’ll look at 1 Timothy 3:1-7. In this first text, Paul gives the qualifications for the office of overseer or elder. Join us this week as we continue in our series: Entrust.

As we continue in 1 Timothy, it is important for use to remember that none of these texts are isolated from the rest of the letter and the entirety of the Scriptures. 1 Timothy 2:8-15 tackles the roles of men and women within the context of God’s design. However, what is clear in our present culture and the context of this text is that sin has corrupted our interpretation and application of these roles.
