UNITY AND HARMONY
Unity and Harmony
Kenton Beshore
We're continuing a series titled The Apprentice. And it is because we are going through the book, 1 Timothy, where Paul is discipling or mentoring or teaching Timothy who he worked together. Timothy and Paul worked together for about 10 years. And now Timothy is a young pastor in his late 20s, early 30s in a church at Ephesus. He is a leader there.

We learn as those of us that are older in their faith how to mentor and to apprentice - to apprentices. And then also we get to see how Paul does that and we learn it for younger what are the things that we're to respond to.

And specifically in this passage he talks about the roles of men and women because there were some confusion in it. And as a result of it, the whole worship service had become confusing and broken down. And in fact, the passage that we're looking at today is one ...
