The Nuts & Bolts of Church Operations: Studies from 1,2 Timothy and Titus

Description:

The pages of the Old Testament are full of prophetic utterances of the coming of God s kingdom. It would be majestic, powerful and never ending. When God s kingdom did come with power (Acts 2:1), it was not without design or purpose.

God specifically designed the Church to be an important part of His scheme of redemption. Through the Church s work, souls can be taught the truth and encouraged to obey the commandments of God. After the day of Pentecost and the persecution in Jerusalem, other congregations were established throughout the world and the good news spread. However as each congregation was established, Satan lurked to entrap, ensnare, and entice Christians to change and modify God s design.

Since the church occupies such a critical place in a Christian s life, Christians must understand God s design. Through the books of 1, 2 Timothy and Titus, God has inspired instructions so Christians will know how the Church should operate and function.

This thirteen lesson study examines these books so Christians can understand how God s design for church operation is implemented in His congregations. The lessons have handouts and PowerPoint slideshows for easy teaching.
