Timothy, Titus, Philemon (Life Light Foundations Topical Bible Study) Robert C. Baker

(9 sessions) This study is part of the LifeLight Bible study series of in-depth studies of Bible books. The goal of LifeLight is that through a regular program of in-depth personal and group study of Scripture, more and more Christian adults may grow in their personal faith in Jesus Christ.

Focusing on the vital importance of sound doctrine (that is, teaching), Paul writes to Timothy that the Gospel is essential to the church's life, for it gives the divine gift of faith even to blasphemers and persecutors and violent men. Yet the Law is also good, and it must be used properly. The church's faithful teaching of the pure Word of God-both Law and Gospel-must never become mixed with false teachings, because such falsehoods will only lead people away from the faith.

Timothy/Titus/Philemon is an original LifeLight study and includes:
To a True Son in the Faith (1 Timothy 1)
Living the Faith Together (1 Timothy 2-3)
The Truths of the Faith Must Remain Central (1 Timothy 4:1-6:2)
The Value of Faith above All Other Things (1 Timothy 6:3-21)
Faith in the Midst of Hardship (2 Timothy 1:1-2:13)
Faith Put to Action in Life (2 Timothy 2:14-3:17)
Guard against Those Things That Attack Faith (2 Timothy 4; Titus 1)
Faithful Teaching Produces Faithful Living (Titus 2-3)
Love for Neighbor Arises from Faith (Philemon)
