The Divine, Personal Foundation of Reformational Pastoral Ministry FW0818

Who were Paul and Timothy to one another, and how does that factor into the reformational work needed at Ephesus? 1Timothy 1:1–2 looks forward to the second serial reading in morning public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these two verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the apostolic foundation of reformational ministry takes us back to God Himself in Christ, because He is our God, He is our hope, He is our holiness, He is our help, and He is our happiness.
