In this first in a series of sermons in his first letter to Timothy we will see the urgency that the Apostle Paul brings to his discourse with his young son in the Lord. This is clearly an intimate letter and one which captures the desire of a man detained by prison to prepare his young protege for ministry.
In this sermon a brief outline of the dynamics which existed in Ephesus at the time Paul wrote the letter and the major themes addressed will be outlined. As we begin this journey together, let us take the position of the young learner, gathered about by enemies, perhaps a novice or alone, yet fully equipped with the Word of God and the force of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps as we sit in this place, we too will receive the instruction and encouragement which Timothy gained and be ready to rise and defend the Gospel in our day.
