This episode is about being an example of the believers. Here is a link to the lesson in the manual.
In the epistles Paul wrote to Timothy, Titus, and Philemon, we get a glimpse into the heart of a servant of the Lord. Unlike Paul’s other epistles to entire congregations, these were written to individuals—Paul’s close friends and associates in God’s work—and reading them is like listening in on a conversation. We see Paul encouraging Timothy and Titus, two leaders of congregations, in their Church service. We see him entreating his friend Philemon to forgive a fellow Saint and treat him like a brother in the gospel. Paul’s words were not addressed to us directly, and he may never have expected that so many people would one day read them. Yet we find in these epistles counsel and encouragement for us, whatever our personal ministry in the service of Christ might be.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I especially needed to hear the “Choosing to Believe” message at the end. I am a youth leader and some of my young women are struggling in this same way. They are at a point where they don’t have a desire to believe. I plan to share this and hope it will touch their hearts the way that only the spirit can. 💗
