A Bible study series subtitled “Men Without Excuses”
Lesson 1: The principle idea in this segment of 1 Timothy 1:1 is to find out the biblical idea of what an apostle is–then and today! In this Passage-Driven Expository teaching we look at specific Greek words in Timothy along with their usage in other passages to illuminate the meaning behind the principles in the overall message.
Lesson 2: Who is Timothy? Grace, mercy and peace explained. The principle idea in this segment of 1 Timothy 1:2-4 is to identify Timothy and then explore biblical truth behind the salutation “grace,mercy, and peace”.
Lesson 3: The principle idea in this segment of 1 Timothy 1:5-7 is love, good conscience and faith unpretended from which some have departed…
Lesson 4: What is the law good for? Here we do deep dives into the Greek word meanings out of 1 Timothy chapter 1 that help explain what our lives should look like–and when our character doesn’t match up with righteousness and love — we have the law.
Lesson 5: Paul said he was the protos-first and foremost sinner and therefore the prototype for God’s grace and mercy. Here we do deep dives into the Greek word meanings out of 1 Timothy that help explain what our lives should look like.
Lesson 6: There are 4 Greek words for “prayer” in the New Testament and all 4 are used in 1 Timothy 2:1: petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving. We will explore all 4 of these words and their usage in other places in the Bible.
Lesson 7: Paul’s desire is that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands. God’s desire that all men be saved and come to a working knowledge of the truth. Bottom line: there is one God and one mediator between God and man–the man Christ Jesus! This morning we take a dive into some of the Greek words surrounding Paul’s message to Timothy in 1 Timothy 2;4-8
Lesson 8: Did the Apostle Paul really just say “women be quiet”? In this session we take an in-depth look at 1 Timothy chapter 2:9-15 and Paul’s instruction to Timothy about praying in the church service.
Lesson 9: Want to be a Pastor? A deacon? A church leader? What should that look like? Men Without Excuses Bible study. We are going in-depth on 1 Timothy chapter 3 where Paul is telling Timothy what to look for in an overseer of the church.
Lesson 10: 1 Timothy 3 gives us explicit instructions as men to be “pro family” and how there is danger in putting a neophyte (Gr: neophutos—new-sprout) in leadership positions. Oh, and about their reputations…
Lesson 11: Elder or Deacon? 1 Timothy 3:8-13 A deacon is a server. How a deacon is supposed to act? They are supposed to “echo” the mystery of faith. Find out how!
Lesson 12: Departing from faith means that you had faith at one time. Find more of Paul’s exhortation to Timothy about “episkopos” (church overseers) and “diakonos” (deacons/servers) in 1Timothy chapter 4.
Lesson 13: How to deal with godless myths and old wives’ tales out of 1 Timothy chapter 4. Men Without Excuses Bible study. This segment is starting into my favorite part of 1 Timothy where Paul addresses Timothy personally.
Lesson 14: Paul’s personal exhortation to Timothy! What is charisma anyhow? How to be a typeset to the believers in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity.
Lesson 15: How to treat the elder and the younger men and women in the church. Conflict resolution! Men without excuses are not domineering and make their reproofs look more like counsels and exhortations than rebukes. Men without excuses treat others in the church with respect.
Lesson 16: Ever wonder what to do with the widows in the church? Young widows, old widows, in-between widows? 1 Timothy chapter 5 is very direct about this subject. Let’s look this from God’s perspective and economy.
Lesson 17: How to handle conflict with an elder! Here are the answers with NO wiggle room! We are in 1 Timothy 5 for this: Against an elder never receive an accusation–except this way.
Lesson 18: Respect your boss! Ordaining of elders. Sins and good works can both rat you out. Timothy teach these things says Paul.
Lesson 19: We start out in this segment by watching out for false gospels and the people who promote them. We end with being content in this world with whatever we have.
Lesson 20: To be content with what have! Agonizing over our faith walk. Love of money. So much is packed into a few verses of 1 Timothy.
