1 Timothy 3:14-15 lays out the purpose for Paul writing this letter to the early church: "I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth." As we hop into 1 Timothy 3, we will look at the roles and requirements of church leadership and how we should respond to it.
