The Faithful Church: 1st & 2nd Timothy – August 16, 2026

Read the passage: 1 Timothy 6:6-19

The big question today is: How can we be men and women of God?

The question today is based on the context of 1 Timothy. Timothy is an upcoming young leader, probably YAM or ZOE age. Paul. is writing this letter to Timothy to warn him about sin and the pitfalls of church. He’s also guiding and mentoring Timothy, telling him what it means to be righteous and a follower of Jesus. In verse 11 of our passage today, Paul calls Timothy a man of God.

I think that’s Paul’s goal in writing this letter is to help Timothy become a man of God

So that’s what were trying to figure out: How can we be men and women of God?

The Faithful Church: 1st & 2nd Timothy – August 9, 2026

Read the passage: 1 Timothy 1:3-7

We start a new series in 1st Timothy. It’s a personal letter from Paul to Timothy, who is one of Paul’s most trusted partners in ministry; Paul basically calls him his son. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote, “I have no one else like him.” That’s pretty high praise for a young leader.

The church in question is the church in Ephesus that Paul planted and pastored for a few years. Ephesus is a big pagan city, but now that church is going through some very big problems. And this is where we begin our passage.
