1 Timothy 5:22

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.

Written to Timothy, the books of 1 & 2 Timothy present Paul’s passion for preserving the truth of God’s Word. At the heart of Paul’s message is the charge for Timothy to remain true to the gospel, no matter what. Join us in these letters, rich with wisdom and hope, as Paul reminds us how remaining faithful to the gospel's truth is the foundation of a Christ-centred life.

After an encounter with Jesus, Paul was radically changed. This change led him to plant churches, go on missions, and write much of the New Testament. Two of the books he penned were letters written to a young man named Timothy. Paul wrote regarding church leadership and ministry perseverance that are powerful reminders to us today as we seek to stand firm with faith in an ungodly world.
