I Timothy 1:11

"This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased," the Father said of Jesus in Matthew 3:17. God is infinitely, inexhaustively glad in his Son. But what does this mean for us? In this five-day devotional, John Piper examines how the Bible speaks of God's joy in Jesus and how it impacts our everyday.

Do you want more OF God? Or more FROM God? In this 5-day devotional, renowned theologian and author R. T. Kendall challenges you to seek the Benefactor, not just the benefits. Learn to desire more of God, not for personal gain, but for an enriched relationship with Him.

We live in a land where truth is subjective, individualized, and culturally conditioned. That same troubling thinking had invaded the churches led by Timothy and Titus, so Paul's pastoral letters to them focus on the objective and universal truth revealed in Jesus.

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.
