Deacons are much needed in the church. But not everyone can serve in that way. Paul gives some very specific qualifications of who can serve in this role.

The list that Paul gives is not about gifting but about character. It is important for the man of God to not only know what is expected of him but also the church.

Paul addresses within the church different roles and dangers within those roles for men and women.

Continuing through 1st Timothy we see how Paul encourages Timothy to pray for all people with a gospel perspective.

We think of fighting as a negative but are their things worth fighting for? Yes, as we read in 1 Timothy the Gospel is first among them.

The Apostle Paul shares how he had experienced the great mercy of God. This same mercy is shown to us.

Paul warns Timothy about the false teachers who abuse the law of God. He then shares how the law of God can be useful- it points us to Jesus.

Guest Speaker Aaron Newcomb shares what it means to do God's will, especially with those who are in need of help.

The Apostle Paul calls Timothy his son in the faith. What does it look like discipling others? Who are training and raising up?

The church has some components that we must persist in.
