From the time we are children, one of the questions we ask most frequently is, “Why?” In the second half of 1 Timothy 1, Paul explains the answer to that question for himself, Timothy and Jesus. What is your why?
Love and Law
This week we begin a new series about the pastoral epistles. The old law served a purpose for the people of God, but what does it mean for followers of Christ who have been freed from sin?
