Teaching 1 Timothy: From Text to Message (Teaching the Bible)

Timothy from Lystra was known as the “son” of Paul the Apostle, and as his apprentice, was to learn the ways of the faith from him. Timothy was later sent to Ephesus to serve as Paul’s representative. The Ephesians had lost their focus on the message of the Gospel; they were materialistic and their lives were marked by ungodly living. Timothy’s task was to call them back to the cross, to remind them what Jesus Christ had done for them, and to set their sights on Christ’s future return. Until then they were to live holy lives. This book prepares you to teach 1 Timothy, showing how we can navigate a godly life even in today’s culture.
