I Timothy 1:1-3

We now begin a study in the book of I Timothy. This is the first for three letters written by Paul, referred to as the pastoral epistles. These were written towards the end of Paul's ministry and his life on earth. While his writings are primarily for the pastor/leader in the church, this letter is meant for the whole church.

The first thing that Paul addresses is doctrine. Good doctrine comes from the word of God. Thus, God's word is paramount in the life of the believer. It is paramount in the life of the pastor. And it must be central in the church.

How important is God's word in your life?
