Here the focus turns to how apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers work together to equip the church. Each gift contributes something distinct, and the church matures when all are present, recognized, and allowed to function as Christ designed.

1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus reveal the heart of an older leader urging young pastors to hold fast to truth in a world full of distraction and distortion. These letters call the church back to character, integrity, and the kind of leadership that grows out of a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. Paul exposes shallow teaching, confronts pride, and equips Timothy and Titus to shepherd believers with wisdom. As the first generation of apostles fades, the torch is placed firmly in the hands of faithful men and women who will carry the gospel forward.

Text: Revelation 2:1-7

Make sure that your relationship with Jesus is top priority.
