How does this work?

Joel will try to put up a new post each week on Sundays. Then, you guys can answer the questions for yourself and weigh in on each other’s answers.

You should participate by posting comments. It will help build momentum, and create a full conversation if you try to post something between Sunday and Wednesday.

Joel will be online on Wednesday evenings. If you want to have a more of an instant interaction, you could set time aside on Wednesday nights as well. Don't forget to refresh the page often. :-)

Justin will be posting devotions for you as well. When they are put up, share them on Facebook or Twitter. :)

1 Timothy 1:1-11 -- Digging In


Paul wrote the letter called 1 Timothy as a pep-talk. It is a letter of encouragement and teaching. As we read it, we can consider what Timothy learned, as well as how it is helpful for us in our lives as Christ-followers.

Read 1 Timothy 1:1-10. Leave it open in a different tab, or use an actual paper Bible. :-)
 
This letter is from Paul to Timothy. He call Timothy his “true son in the faith.” He had the chance to train timothy in a knowledge of the true doctrines of God, and they served together to spread that message before Paul left timothy in Ephesus to help them get through the problem of the false teachers there.

How can you tell that Paul knows Timothy’s faith really well?

After reading verse 3-8, what would you say is Timothy’s job in Ephesus?

Since Timothy is called to defend the false teachers there, it is important to understand what the false teaching is that he is surrounded by.  What can you tell about these false teachings by reading this section?
