This is the first of the Pastoral Epistles that instruct church leaders and members how to do church God’s way. Having left Timothy behind in Ephesus to grow what Paul had himself established, Paul explained to him how the church should work. The key verse of the book is 3:15, in which Paul says, “I have written so that you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God.” Paul spends a lot of time explaining how to grow and develop church leadership, how leaders are to function, and what their responsibilities entail. Timothy was to study, learn, and grow himself from God’s Word, and then preach what he was learning. The letter also points out that the quality of leaders affects the quality of the members. This, in fact, is why Paul was so concerned that Timothy develop the right kind of leaders. First Timothy can help pastors and church members maximize their potential in making their church all that God designed it to be in the ministry of his kingdom. 5 Lessons from the Book of 1 Timothy - Tony Evans #shorts #1timothy #leadership #tonyevans _______________________________________________________________________________ ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?
