February 4, 2024 • Joel Dover • 1 Timothy 2

As Timothy confronted false teachers in Ephesus and pressed back to preserve the authentic gospel against legalistic agendas, Paul encouraged him to pray for all men, and to keep preaching the gospel.

1 Timothy 1:12-20 Warriors and Warfare

January 28, 2024 • Joel Dover • 1 Timothy 1:12–20

It was important for Timothy to hold the line on real gospel doctrine in Ephesus. Paul writes to show his own transition from legalism to grace in Christ...which serves as a pattern for the Ephesian believers. They should not revert to legalism, but should be moving towards a rest in grace.

1 Timothy 1:1-11 No Other Doctrine

January 21, 2024 • Joel Dover • 1 Timothy 1:1–11

Pastor Joel begins a new series this week in the Pastoral Epistles. In our reading today, we'll see that Timothy was charged with keeping the doctrine of the Ephesian church gospel centered. Often, well meaning people can revert to a legalistic version of Christianity that leaves behind the gospel. It is important for believers to serve the Lord because of grace, and not to get into God's good graces.
