Synopsis

Timothy from Lystra was known as Paul the Apostle's 'son' and apprentice who was to learn the things of the faith from him. Timothy was later to be sent to Ephesus serving as Paul's representative. The Ephesians had lost their focus on the message of the gospel. They were materialistic and their lives were marked by ungodly living. Timothy's task was to call them back to the cross and what Jesus Christ had done for them, setting their sights on what they would receive when Christ returned for them. Until then they were to live lives of godliness and holiness. This book will help you to teach 1 Timothy, showing how we can navigate a godly life even in today's culture.
This useful resource, alongside the others in this growing Teaching the Bible series, is for those who have the privilege and the joy of teaching or preaching a particular book or theme from the Bible. Whether you are a small group leader, preacher or a youth worker, it will help you to communicate the message from 1 Timothy. This book will provide a useful launching pad for Biblical exposition planning and executing a lesson or sermon in particular with background, structure, key points and application.

Review:

" an outstanding resource; essential reading for all looking to study, teach and feed on 1 Timothy."
Sam Allberry, Assistant Pastor, St Marys, Maidenhead.
“After Angus Macleay's outstanding contribution on 1 Peter his new book on 1 Timothy does not disappoint - the same excellent standard is maintained. Difficulties are faced. Practical application is realistic.”
Jonathan Fletcher, Minister, Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon
“If the growing feminisation of the church is to be challenged and men encouraged to step up and take the lead, then we need 1 Timothy to be preached, taught and modelled in our churches.”
Carrie Sandom, Associate Minister for Women and Pastoral Care at St John Church, Tunbridge Wells. “The task of moving from the text of Scripture to clear and faithful exposition is challenging. This series of excellent guides aims to help the Bible teacher to observe what is there in the text, and prepare to convey its significance to contemporary hearers.”.
Professor John Woodhouse, Moore Theological College, Sydney.
“North India desperately needs men and women who will preach and teach the Bible faithfully and PT's Teaching series is of great value in encouraging them to do just that.”
Isaac Shaw, Executive Director, Delhi Bible Institute.
