1 Timothy | Purity In The Household Of God
Shared on: Sep 25, 2017
The letter of 1st Timothy is often referred to as one of the 'pastoral epistles.' This is because rather than being a letter written directly to a local church, it is written to the pastor of a local church in order to provide instruction and guidance in the ministry he is called to accomplish there. Nevertheless, this letter is also very useful to the church at large because, as Paul states in 1st Timothy 3:14-15, its contents are meant to teach us "how one ought to behave in the household of God." In other words, we are called live out our faith in holiness, purity, truth, and love as we learn and submit to the pure and unchanging doctrines of Christ. May this collection of resources empower your own study and preparation as you seek to teach your community about the vast importance of maintaining order and purity in the household of God.
