1 Timothy

Paul’s letters to Timothy are personal, practical, and full of wisdom for life and leadership. 

Timothy was a young believer raised in the faith and trusted by Paul to lead the church in Ephesus. These letters were written near the end of Paul’s life and offer guidance for staying faithful. 

This plan will take you through 1 and 2 Timothy over 21 days, with thoughtful reflections from experienced Bible teachers. As you read, be encouraged to grow in faith and live out your calling with courage, grace, and truth.

Timothy Book Study - the Story

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.

Guard the Deposit: A Study in 1 Timothy

Over the next 60 days, you will read the Pauline Epistles and learn about the wisdom, knowledge, love, encouragement, exhortations and good news of the gospel that Paul shared with the Galatians, Romans, Philippians, Titus, Timothy and more.
