1 Timothy 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Read 1 Timothy 3. If you were starting an organization and looking for leaders to help it succeed, what kind of person would you look for? You might look for wealthy people who could donate financially to the organization and help manage the money the organization receives. You might look for people who have been successful elsewhere—starting a successful business, becoming a college president, holding a prestigious political office. You might look for someone famous who can draw attention to yo
1 Timothy 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Read 1 Timothy 2. One of the common objections heard against our faith is that it is exclusive. If Jesus is the only way to God, then what about people who worship God through other religions? Will they miss salvation even though they have a desire to know God? The answer is yes, according to verse 5 of our passage today: “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” It is common to hear that every religion is worshipping the same God, just by a different

Read excerpt
Read 1 Timothy 1. Ephesus was an important place in the story of the New Testament. Paul spent two years there on his third missionary journey according to Acts 19:10.

Of course, he also wrote the New Testament book we call “Ephesians” to that church
Mark 16 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Read Mark 16. After Jesus was crucified, Matthew 27:57-61 records that Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy man who became a disciple of Jesus, received permission from Pilate to bury Jesus’s body. Remember that Jesus died on Friday and that, in the Jewish world, sunset marked the beginning of the next day. That sunset meant the start of Saturday and if they had taken time to properly embalm Jesus’ body, they would be breaking the Sabbath command. So, Joseph (with the help of Nicodemus, according to J
Mark 15 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Read Mark 15. Yesterday, when we read about Jesus’ arrest in Mark 14, we read these words in verses 48-49, ““Am I leading a rebellion,” said Jesus, “that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” Christ was pointing out how absurd it was to be arrested by so many men who were so heavily armed. Jesus was a peaceful man and a public man who could have been arreste
