"Nowhere are we closer to Paul's mind than when he's talking to Timothy. These words were to shape Timothy's life and ministry— and they should shape ours too."
Join Phillip Jensen as he opens up Paul's first and second letters to Timothy, helping you get to grips with its meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today.
Paul is reaching the end of his ministry. Timothy needs help in his. And so the apostle writes to his young friend and protege, urging him to guard the gospel, preach the gospel, and live the gospel.
Phillip Jensen opens up these letters for us, calling readers to do just what Timothy did—to love Christ and teach truth in our generation, and to teach others to do the same.
