تِمٌتٍ عِ 17:5

The first of Paul’s three “pastoral epistles,” 1 Timothy focuses on the church as a “pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). In the letter, Paul commands Timothy to “guard the deposit” (1 Timothy 6:20) by combatting false teachers, protecting the flock of Christ, and structuring the church well. 1 Timothy shows us the incredible privilege of being in God’s church and the high calling of leading it.

This plan offers a 6-day journey through the book of 1 Timothy, making it ideal for both individual and group study.

A good lens to read 1 Timothy through is 1 Timothy 1:5, where Paul writes, Now the goal of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Over the next 7 days we will explore this small and amazing book.
