2. 1 Timothy 1

3. Context: During Paul’s second Missionary journey he helped Timothy grow in relationship with Christ and church leadership. Paul mentored Timothy and charged him to guide the Ephesians into faithfulness and holiness.

4. Though Paul’s relationship with Timothy was special- he will not encourage Timothy to mistake him as the primary leader of his life. They both have one hope.

5. Timothy was charged to raise the church in Ephesus up with holy instruction that guided them to becoming:
Morally superior yet well-liked people
A closed community that was well separated from the world and all its problems
Love, integrity, and lifestyles of trust in Jesus
Biblically astute, doctrinally grounded faith

6. We should always be mindful that the quickest, easiest kind of discipleship is teaching the law so that behavior change is encouraged, but we do not get to know Jesus any better than as the highest example of faithfulness.

7. The law’s purpose is not as the end point where we aim- but the starting point that shows our need for grace and response to the Lord who gives it generously!

8. Remembering our grace stories is central for discipling others
Remembering our grace stories is central for discipling others. Our lives are testimonies to the patience, grace, love, and kindness of Jesus before anything else.
