Doctrine is about what God has handed down to us—ultimately pointing to the good news of what Jesus did and is continuing to do. Proper doctrine will translate into how we live our lives, how we interact with others, how we worship God, and how we pray. Prayer is more than asking for things, but today we want to look at what we should be asking for: Healthy churches will pray for the advancement of the Gospel. God’s desires should be our prayers. We learn God’s desires by looking at the Scripture, understanding correct doctrine, and abiding in Jesus.

From Series: "1 Timothy"

Paul begins and ends 1 Timothy with the idea of doctrine. 1 Tim 1:3-5 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Look at the end: 1 Tim 6:20-21 O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Paul emphasizes true doctrine because whenever we wander from it, we distort the Gospel. Our 10-week journey through 1 Timothy will remind us of the centrality of the Gospel.
