The Books of 1 and 2 TIMOTHY
Wherever the Apostle Paul went on his missionary travels, he was on the lookout, not just for 'converts', but also for men and women who could CARRY ON the Mission and LEAD the Church as it grew. TIMOTHY, a young man from the city of Lystra, became one of his closest confidants and students. Paul spoke of Timothy as his 'co-worker'… 'my son whom I love'…..'my True Son'... and 'my Dear Son'. TIMOTHY is a Big Deal!! . He would ultimately become the Pastor (Bishop) of the thriving and vibrant church in EPHESUS. Paul writes these two letters (often called the Pastoral Letters) to his 'apprentice-'- giving instruction, encouragement and advice to Timothy-- and to a succession of pastors over the last 2000 years. It is Seminary 101 on how to led a church. Welcome to the books of 1 & 2 Timothy.
