Two of these were written to Timothy, one to Titus, and one to Philemon. \par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \par \pard\tab First and Second Timothy and Titus are often referred to by denominational scholars as the \b Pastoral Epistles \b0 due to a common misconception of what a Pastor is. The denominational concept is that a Pastor is the preacher "in charge of the affairs of the local church." The New Testament does not teach this. In \cf2\ul Act_20:17-28\cf0\ulnone we learn that \i bishops, elders,\i0 and \i pastors\i0 are three different terms referring to the same group of men in the local church doing the same work. The preacher is not the pastor or shepherd of the flock, but the bishops (or elders) are. In New Testament days that was no distinction between bishops, elders and pastors.\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \par \pard\tab Timothy and Titus were fellow-laborers with Paul in the work of preaching. Paul is now an aged, mature, experienced, apostle of Jesus Christ and he writes to these two young preachers to encourage and instruct them for the work they would need to continue to do.\par \par \pard\qc\b DATE:\b0\par \pard\par \tab First Timothy was written after the events recorded in Acts took place. Following Paul's two year imprisonment at Rome mentioned in the last chapter of Acts it is believed that Paul was set free and enjoyed liberty for two or three years before beingLVAL reimprisoned and finally executed about 66 or 67 AD.\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \par \pard\tab The facts of these personal epistles of Paul indicate that Paul traveled to Crete and left Titus there (\cf2\ul Tit_1:3\cf0\ulnone ), and left Timothy in Ephesus to carry on the work there. Paul traveled on to Miletus and Troas and into Macedonia.\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \par \pard\tab In the course of this travel Paul wrote First Timothy from some place in Macedonia. He is subsequently arrested again, probably in Nicopolis. Conditions were changing rapidly. The Jews in Palestine were rebelling against Rome; Nero was laying the blame for the burning of Rome on the Christians; and persecution under Nero grew more sever each day. \par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tab During his imprisonment Paul was not allowed the freedom of a "house arrest" like his first imprisonment described in Acts 28. This time he was confined to the Maritime dungeon, according to tradition, and after spending a lonely winter suffering from the cold he was beheaded upon the order of Nero. It was during this imprisonment he wrote 2 Timothy.\par \par \pard\qc\b TIMOTHY:\b0\par \pard\par \tab Timothy was born in Lystra of a Greek father and a Jewish mother. He was reared in the Jewish faith and was taught the Scriptures by his mother and grandmother from early childhood (\cf2\ul 2Ti_3:15\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul 2Ti_1:5\cf0\ulnone ). Paul discovered him at Lystra (\cf2\ul Act_16:1-3\cf0\ulnone ). At this point in Paul's second missionary journey Timothy joined Paul and shared in his labors throughout the rest of his life.\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \par \pard\tab Timothy was with Paul in his first imprisonment at Rome (\cf2\ul Col_1:1\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Phm_1:1\cf0\ulnone ). After Paul's release he evidently traveled with Paul as far as Ephesus and was left there to administer to the needs of the Church. While there, he received these two epistles from Paul that bear his name. Although Timothy is referred LVALto as a young men, he is probably about 30 years old at the time he receives this epistle.\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \par \pard\tab Whether Timothy was able to reach Rome in time to see Paul before his death is unknown. But in Paul's second letter to him he requests him to come and to bring his cloak and parchments (\cf2\ul 2Ti_4:11-21\cf0\ulnone ).\par \par \pard\qc\b THE LETTER:\par \pard\par \tab\b0 Paul had left Timothy at Ephesus. The church was faced with threat from various false doctrines. Paul had warned the elders of Ephesus of coming problems in Acts 20 several years earlier.\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \par \pard\tab 1.\tab Paul warns Timothy and the church of a failure of faith and charges the young preacher to instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines (\cf2\ul 1Ti_1:3\cf0\ulnone ). Some had made shipwreck of the faith, such as "Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan" says Paul (\cf2\ul 1Ti_1:18-20\cf0\ulnone ).\par \tab 2.\tab How Christians ought to conduct themselves in the work and worship of the church is a second underlying thought in Second Timothy. He deals with congregational prayer and worship and how Christian women are to dress and behave themselves.\par \tab 3.\tab The earliest elders and deacons in the church had been appointed directly by men inspired by the Holy Spirit (\cf2\ul Act_14:23\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Act_6:3\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Act_6:6;\cf0\ulnone \cf2\ul Act_20:28\cf0\ulnone ) but now by inspiration of the Holy Spirit Paul gives written guidelines for the appointment of elders and deacons in chapter three.\par \tab 4.\tab Another general theme of the book is especially applicable to all who preach the Gospel and is found in \cf2\ul 1Ti_3:16\cf0\ulnone : "Take heed to thyself and to thy teaching." Paul exhorts Timothy concerning his attitude toward his work and his personal example. He was charged to "rebuke them that sin..." and flee any desire to be rich and "keep that which is committed to thy trust" (\cf2\ulLVAL 1Ti_4:6\cf0\ulnone -16; \cf2\ul 1Ti_5:20-22\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul 1Ti_6:6\cf0\ulnone -11,\cf2\ul 1Ti_6:20\cf0\ulnone ).\par \par \pard\qc\b\fs26\par \pard\b0\f3\page\b\f2 An Outline of First Timothy\b0\fs22\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tqr\tldot\tx9360 Introduction \tab \cf2\ul 1Ti_1:1-2\cf0\ulnone\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tx720\tqr\tldot\tx9360\b I.\tab SOUND DOCTRINE \tab \cf2\ul\b0 1Ti_1:3\cf0\ulnone\b -20\b0\par \pard\tab 1.\tab Danger to sound doctrine\tab\tab 1:3-11\par \tab 2.\tab Example of sound doctrine\tab\tab 1:12-17\par \tab 3.\tab The preacher and sound doctrine\tab\tab 1:18-20\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tx720\tqr\tldot\tx9360\b II.\tab PUBLIC WORSHIP \tab \cf2\ul\b0 1Ti_2:1\cf0\ulnone\b -15\b0\par \pard\tab 1.\tab Prayer\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab 2:1-7\par \tab 2.\tab Men and women in worship\tab\tab 2:8-15\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tqr\tldot\tx9360\b III. \tab CHURCH OFFICERS \tab \cf2\ul\b0 1Ti_3:1\cf0\ulnone\b -16\b0\par \pard\tab 1.\tab The elder\tab\tab\tab\tab 3:1-7\par \tab 2.\tab The deacon\tab\tab\tab\tab 3:8-13\par \tab 3.\tab Importance of instructions\tab\tab 3:14-16\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tx720\tqr\tldot\tx9360\b IV.\tab FALSE TEACHERS \tab \cf2\ul\b0 1Ti_4:1\cf0\ulnone\b -16\b0\par \pard\tab 1.\tab Their coming \tab\tab\tab\tab 4:1-5\par \tab 2.\tab The preacher and false teachers\tab\tab 4:6-10\par \tab 3.\tab The true service of God\tab\tab\tab 4:11-16\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tx720\tqr\tldot\tx9360\b V.\tab CARE OF MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH \tab 5:1 - 6:2\b0\par \pard\tab 1.\tab Care of young and old \tab\tab\tab 5:1-2\par \tab 2.\tab Care of widows\tab\tab\tab\tab 5:3-16\par \tab 3.\tab Care of elders \tab\tab\tab\tab 5:17-25\par \tab 4.\tab Care of slaves\tab\tab\tab\tab 6:1-2\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tx720\tqr\tldot\tx9360\b VI.\tab THE MINISTER HIMSELF \tab \cf2\ul\b0 1Ti_6:3\cf0\ulnone\b -21a\b0\par \pard\tab 1.\tab Motives\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab 6:3-10\par \tab 2.\tab Pro2LVALBper walk\tab\tab\tab\tab 6:11-16\par \tab 3.\tab Faithful ministry\tab\tab\tab\tab 6:17-21a\par \pard\sl-86\slmult0\par \pard\tqr\tldot\tx9360 Conclusion \tab\tab\tab\tab\tab\tab 6:21b\par \pard\cf1\f0\fs24\par } LVAL^_ {\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f1\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f2\fscript\fprq2\fcharset0 Don Casual;}{\f3\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}{\f4\fmodern\fprq1\fcharset0 Gettysburg;}} {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;} {\*\generator Riched20 5.40.11.2210;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\cf1\lang1033\f0\fs24\par \pard\qc\cf0\b\f1\fs36 Walking Thru The Bible\par GENESIS\b0\f2\fs48\par \pard\f3\fs20\par \par \pard\qc\b\i INTRODUCTION\b0\i0\par \pard\par \pard\fi-1090\li1090\tx720 1.\tab The book of Genesis is the book of origins.\par 2.\tab The scope of the book is "From Bereshith (Hebrew word \i beginning\i0 ) to Shiloh (Genesis 1;1; 49:10)."\par 3.\tab The book revolves around three significant ideas:\par \pard\fi-1440\li1440\tx720\tx1440\tab a.\tab\ul Generation \ulnone - Genesis 1 - 2.
