1 and 2 Timothy: Encouragement for Church Leaders (MacArthur Bible Studies)

Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the two short letters to Timothy, passage by passage, so that you can better understand Paul’s instructions to church leaders and the cultural context that makes these letters so relevant today.

Timothy was a close associate of Paul who was facing problems within the church that he was leading in Ephesus. In these personal letters, Paul gives practical pastoral instruction to his protégé, highlighting godliness and holy living to help Timothy fulfill his calling and effectively carry out his important tasks in the church.

Paul’s gentle encouragement in these letters challenges Timothy to persevere in his faith—a faith that might have been weakening under the pressure of the church and the persecution of the world. Paul’s godly counsel was helpful not only to Timothy, a first-century Christian leader, but is also helpful to each of us as believers today.
