God's Word for Today: 1 and 2 Timothy/Titus

The public ministry of the Gospel, or the Office of Holy Ministry, is God's gift to the Church. In these three letters to two young pastors, Paul provides warning and encouragement, instruction and blessing to both the recipients and to us. In this study you will learn:

• the destructive nature of false doctrine and the importance of pure teaching based on God's Word;
• the importance of mutual love, service, and respect between pastors and their parishioners;
• the enduring order of God's creation for men and women within the home and the Church
