Most believe that Paul was eventually released from his imprisonment in Rome after 2 years (Acts 28:30-31). It’s likely, then, that Paul made a 4th journey after his time in Rome, and Clement seems to indicate that he may have even made it to Spain. During this time, he writes letters to Timothy and Titus. This week, we look at Paul’s letter to Timothy. It’s likely that Paul dropped Timothy off in Ephesus on this journey and left him in charge of the church there. Paul writes to encourage and instruct him as a young pastor. His charge to Timothy (and for us) is to pursue sound doctrine, sound leadership, and sound living.
