The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample

Week 47. Day 1. 1 Timothy.
Introduction to the Pastoral Letters.
1&2 Timothy and Titus are also letters of Paul, but are known as the ‘pastoral epistles’ as they are written to church pastors, not churches. Even though the primary person addressed in each of the pastoral epistles is a church pastor (Timothy or Titus) there are nevertheless important things for all Christians to learn from these letters. Not least, these letters emphasise:
- The serious and destructive nature of false teaching
- The importance of godliness for those in church leadership (whether formal or informal)
- How the truths of the gospel lead to godliness
1 Timothy
Why is Paul writing to Timothy? (esp. 1 Tim 1:3-7; cf 2 Tim 4:1-4)
As you read 1 Timothy, note what we learn about:
- godliness and its benefits
- false teaching and its dangers
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
About this Plan

The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
