Continuing chapter 6 from last week in 1 Timothy, Paul warns Timothy about those who will come in to argue about words, who have greedy intentions, and whose doctrine and life will not line up with Jesus Christ and the Word of God. In addition to staying away from errant doctrine and those who teach it, we also have to watch our lives for the love of money, the greed of this world, as it will take us down to ruin as well. Instead we are to pursue the gifts of the Spirit and fight the good fight of faith!

Returning to our study of the pastoral epistles in the new year, we are picking up where we left off in chapter five of 1 Timothy--as Paul takes care of some "housekeeping items" related to compensation, handling accusations and sin in the leadership, and representing God in every relationship, no matter to believers or unbelievers.

Gearing up for the New Year, Pastor Steve took a week to look at a powerful story in Genesis--the story of Abraham's obedience (God calls it worship) in taking Isaac, his only son, to Mount Moriah to sacrifice him to God. What are you holding back from God? Do we truly worship Him if we don't give Him everything? A great reminder as we enter a new year with hopefully a renewed passion to serve Him wholeheartedly!

As we continue in our series "Fixing the Broken Church" by looking at the pastoral epistles, Paul continues to teach Timothy the proper way to handle the issues and challenges in the family of God. Starting chapter 5, we learn that first of all, inter-personal relationships do follow the respect, honor and purity that should be found in the home between mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Secondly, Paul explains how to appropriately discern and deal with the need for benevolent care in the church--specifically to widows.
