I Timothy 5-6

Hear about what “entreating” one another means , how the “widow indeed” teaches against the welfare state and for the governance of the church over social welfare, and the community in general, and what Paul means by “having damnation”, “turning aside after satan”, and being “dead while you live” means.

We’ll examine Paul’s instruction the a those who labor in the word and doctrine be counted “worthy of double honor”, and if that has to do with the just pastors salary? or is there more to it than that? We’ll also consider what all’s involved when an elder is rebuked.

We consider the laying on of hands in regard to Timothy getting his ministry as well as Paul’s admonition to ““Lay hands suddenly on no man…”, as well as what is meant that Timothy be not a “partaker of other men’s sins .” And hear what the scripture says about Timothy “using a little wine” for his stomach’s sake.

What does it mean to count our ungodly masters worthy of all honor? And how can we find contentment when our riches are taken away and we’re left with nothing more than food and clothing? And is the love of money the root of all evil?

Hear about how the devil’s lie turned the Tree of Knowledge into an object that inflamed the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. We must flee these things!

We’ll go over fighting the good fight of faith, (and where that fight mostly occurs), and rejoice with Timothy in Paul’s reference to his good profession in light of our Lord’s good confession before Pontius Pilate. We’ll also see what the scripture says about being rich, and “laying hold on eternal life.”
