Vernon McGee helps us see how church leaders reflect Jesus Christ when they love God’s truth, God’s people, and nothing more.

In this five-day Bible plan, we will explore how the spirit of fear impacts our lives and our relationship with God.

Through biblical reflections and practical teachings, we will discover how faith in Jesus helps us live without fear and with courage.

This devotion from the book of 1 Timothy will equip you with biblical truths and guide you to practice it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.


Book of 1 Timothy

Apostle Paul recruited the puerile Timothy as his assistant during his second missionary journey. Fast forward a decade, Timothy had undertaken a bigger responsibility to pastor the Ephesian church. Hearing the reports of the older Christians’ questioning Timothy’s capability, Paul penned this letter to affirm Timothy, charging him to set an example of faith, and giving practical leadership advice. Paul’s words to Timothy will significantly resonate with anyone in ministry.

Through the Bible: 1 Timothy

We all know the rules in our own houses. But how should we behave in God’s house? Paul wrote 1 Timothy as a letter to remind Timothy how people should behave in God’s house so that God’s reputation didn’t suffer as “that family” you knew on your street who were a total wreck. This letter not only points out what’s often wrong in church but also gives us solutions.

Blueprints for Biblical Leadership

Timothy was a young man known for being timid. The book of 1 Timothy is a letter from his mentor, the apostle Paul, urging Timothy to be bold in his identity in Christ. Our present time calls for men who will stand up and speak up for what they believe. This devotional urges us, in the words of Paul, to “fight the good fight of faith.”
