Show Notes

There are two New Testament books, both letters from the apostle Paul, written to Timothy, a man who is the son of a Greek father and a Jewish mother. He joins Paul during one of the apostle’s later missionary journeys. In 1 Timothy 1:2, Paul addresses him as “my true son in the faith.” Recognizing his potential at a young age, Paul mentors Timothy and makes him a part of his ministry team. He represents the apostle in many church visits and ends up being appointed the pastor of the church in Ephesus. 

 

Other scriptures referenced include Acts 14:1-2, 8-18; 1 Corinthians 4:17; Philippians 2:19; 1 Timothy 1:3; Acts 19:21-23; Acts 20:4; 21:17; Philippians 1:1; 2:19-23; Colossians 1:1; 1 Timothy 4:12; 1 Timothy 6:11-12; 1 Timothy 5:23; 1 Corinthians 4:17;  1 Timothy 1:18; and 2 Timothy 1:2-4.
