Sun. June 28, 2009 (Andre Pekovich)

Andre provided an overview of the pastoral letters to Timothy and Titus that will be the focus of our services in July and August. These letters were written to individuals, not to congregations like most New Testament letters. They are written in the tone similar to what a favourite wise uncle (one who’s done something quite unusual with his life) might write. Andre noted that these letters challenge conventional wisdom: they question our assumptions about egalitarianism, and they promote intolerance. The letters deal with false teachings, co-workers, slavery, widows, orphans and the rich. If you were Timothy and Paul was writing you a letter, what might it include?
