“The Lawful Use of the Law”

1 Timothy 1:8-11 — Jerry Scheumann

In the midst of false teachers misusing the law of God, Paul upholds the right us of the law, which is to show us our sinfulness before a holy God and to drive us to the saving and life-transforming work of Jesus Christ.

“The Poison of False Teaching and the Life-giving Gospel Stewardship”

1 Timothy 1:3-7 — Jerry Scheumann

Just as what we eat affects the health of our body, so the diet of the church's teaching affects its health. Paul commands Timothy to remove the poison of false teaching present in the church in Ephesus, and to walk in the  life-giving stewardship of the Gospel, for the health and well-being of the church.
