1.TİMOTEOS 5:17

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 7-day devotional is for anyone who has struggled with wayward family members. Do you walk a tightrope between living your life faithfully and coping with difficult family members in a way that is pleasing to God? Every family has a struggle or two with hurt and dysfunction. May this plan help to guide you as you strive to relate to misguided family members.

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.

We often view pastors as spiritual giants who have it all together. But even the Apostle Paul—a titan of faith consistently pleaded for prayer. He knew that eloquence without anointing is empty. This 8-day plan explores our vital role in the "rescue operation" of ministry. We will learn to pray for our leaders’ clarity, boldness, protection, and provision. When we uphold those who feed us, we ensure the health of the entire flock. Discover how your prayers unlock doors for the Gospel and provide spiritual fuel for those on the front lines.
