Remain True - 1&2 TimothyMfano

Timothy, a native of Lystra, may have been converted on Paul’s first missionary journey (Acts 14:6-23). When Paul returned to Lystra on his second journey, Timothy was a disciple well respected by the believers. Paul asked Timothy to accompany him & Silas as he moved westward. When Paul was unable to go on missions, Timothy was sent. He went to Corinth when Paul was unable to, and later when Paul was in prison, he sent Timothy to Philippi and then to Ephesus, where it is believed Timothy was when Paul wrote 1 Timothy. The epistle (letter) contains instructions concerning order and structure in the church & advice for the young pastor. 1 Timothy offers rich theological and ethical wisdom. Paul draws clear connections between doctrine and ethics, belief, and behaviour. Why not grab a few friends or your life group and journey through this plan together?
