The first letter of Timothy is written by the Apostle Paul to Timothy. The letters of 1 & 2 Timothy reveal a strong relationship, in which Paul has trained and encouraged Timothy in church leadership, and in particular in preaching and teaching. But in the midst of all of this teaching and exhortation, the focus of Paul and Timothy’s efforts should not be missed: the work of God in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. This unrelenting gospel focus is both an encouragement and a challenge as God speaks into our circumstances today.

This set of studies covers each of the six chapters of 1 Timothy, using the manuscript method. It is possible to do a manuscript study of the whole book, reading and marking the text of each of the six chapters. Alternatively, one or more chapters can be studied in a single session.
