1 Timothy is teaching us that the church needs to be reassembled and so far we've learned that before anything else we must pray, then we must have a global view of the gospel, and now Paul instructs about the role of men and women in 1 Timothy 2:8–14. In this message we'll focus on men.N

1 Timothy 2:5-7 is essentially a creed we all believe: It explains the need for Jesus, explains that He has been our mediator, and implies that He has made us right with God. What does this mean for us? Through Jesus we can approach God in prayer. This is an awesome privilege and a serious responsibility.

Sometimes we don't notice a problem with the way something's constructed until it's tried and tested. Then we may choose to work around it, but there's nothing better than just doing it right the first time. This is similar to what Timothy faced with the church.

So far we've seen that at Christmas Jesus brought a new humanity that overcomes death, a new morality where sin is done, and a new leadership that brings us a world of peace. Now we'll see that Jesus promises even more: a new world.
