River Valley Church SOAP - Part 5Sample

The last part of this letter addresses some of the misbehavior going on. The young widows are taking advantage of the church's programs and Paul lets them know that only older widows who cannot remarry should be the ones helped. Paul tells Timothy that he needs to confront some older men who have been abusing alcohol, and that they should be removed from leadership if they are in those positions. The last chapter concludes with another rebuke of false teachers trying to exploit the Gospel for money. This letter shows how the church should operate and that those within the church should project the image of Christ to the outside world.
