Above all else in I Timothy, the Apostle Paul wanted the people of God to know how they ought to behave in the church. This was important to the Apostle. Paul knew that the church in Ephesus (like all Christian churches) was the church of the living God. This church was a “pillar and buttress of the truth.” The Ephesian church was a part of upholding the structural foundation of God’s truth. The truth of Jesus. The truth of the Bible. The truth of life itself. We, at The Rock, are also a “pillar and buttress of the truth.” We are called to know and live like Jesus.
This week we will further explore what it means to be the church of the living God. It is helpful for our souls during times of trouble, trial, and pain. Being the church gives us community, meaning, and hope for the future. Let’s gather together to know who we are as a church and to know how we are to behave as a church!
“I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.” - I Timothy 3:14-15
