When considering a topic of study for BC Youth Conference 2016, we were drawn to the powerful teachings found in Paul’s letters to Timothy.

Paul’s words of instruction and advice are just as applicable to us today as they were to the young man Timothy, who was a faithful servant of Christ in the 1st century.

In these letters Paul gives instruction on the importance of correct teaching, the dangers of youthful lusts, roles of women in the ecclesia, how to correct those who oppose the faith, our topics of conversation, the need to show godliness with contentment, and how to endure hardship for the sake of the Truth. These topics, and many more, provide rich guidance to both young and old alike.

Timothy’s name means “valued of God.” Our prayer is that by the time you finish this study you will agree that he lives up to his namesake.
