Living A Different (Holy) Life

GracePointe Church of Christ in Elizabethtown, PA

Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-15

So often the reader of the Bible will get to chapter 2 of 1 Timothy and forget that Paul is still cleaning up a mess perpetuated by a group of Christians who have incorporated elements of pagan Ephesian society into the church. So, how can the church return to a peaceful and respectful gathering? Paul provides a blueprint that involves prayer, submission, and focusing on learning. Paul wants to set a clear distinction between the church and the larger society; using the anchors of peace, self-control, and holiness.
