1&2Timothy

 Ch.1

3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, 4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.

Because our “lineage” is of the Lord. We have been born of God…born again, into His family; our lineage of faith, is that of Abraham (Genesis Ch.15:5; Romans Ch.4)

5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Which can only come through living and abiding in Christ Jesus 

15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

(See Matthew 1:21)

16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. (Romans 6:1-2)

Thus displaying the fullness of the authority behind his Name: Yeshua: The Lord is Salvation.

that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 holding faith and a good conscience.

Our conscience is key: Even more so now, because we have been born of God and are alive in Christ!

 (Teaching notes) Bible study Lesson 1: Anchor scripture:  Hebrews 9:1-10  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%209%3A1-10&version=ESV “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John14:6) Welcome to the tabernacle of Moses… Given to Moses by God on Mt Sinai… It tells the story of redemption…and shows us the Way to Salvation… It is the place where God (His shekhinah glory) came to dwell among us, before he came as one of us. (“Shekhinah”  - literally means “dwelling” The Glory of God with man.) A walk through… 4  “Enter his gates with thanksgiving…” Psalm 100:4 As we enter in at the east end (just as Jesus came into Jerusalem from the East gate…and will come again the same Way) we come face to face with an imposing altar: Read Exodus 27:1-7.   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2027%3A1-7&version=ESV This is the first place you are confronted with when you enter in…it ...

Who was the Messenger of The Lord in Daniel Ch. 10 Behold the sovereign mercy of the Lord :               Scripture reference:  Read Daniel ch 10:1-21 (The Messenger of the Lord) The Archangel Michael has been assigned to defend Israel (Daniel 12:1). But there is a problem…Israel’s continual and willful acts of disobedience and iniquity, have created a barrier between them and The Lord (Isaiah 59:1-2), which has left them as prey for Satan, the prince of this world. So, do Michael and his legion of angels actually have any legal right to defend Israel?… By God’s own Law, Israel have put themselves under a curse - a curse that gives Persia, Greece and any kingdom that comes afterwards, the right to wipe them off the face of the Earth (Psalm 83:1-4) But…there is One who stands beside Michael (ch.11:1)- “One who looks like a man”… One who “stands in the gap” , against what must have been a constant barrage of accusations…The One who will provide the ...
