1 Timothy 4:1

In a world full of challenges like those faced by early disciples—false teachings, political turmoil, and personal struggles—this four-day Bible reading plan by Brian Barcelona is crafted to help you safeguard your faith. Just as early followers of Jesus learned to live out their commitment daily, you can deepen your discipleship through these readings. Each day will offer insights and encouragement to strengthen your spiritual resilience, helping you stay anchored and hopeful amid life’s trials.

The pursuit of Jesus isn’t just for us and shouldn’t stop with us. Following Jesus started thousands of years ago, and it is our mission to continue for generations to come.

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.
