This course identifies biblical answers to crucial leadership questions from three of Paul’s letters, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, which primarily address issues of pastoral leadership and ministry. In his twenty lectures, Dr. John Stott walks his listeners through an exegetical analysis of Paul’s words to Timothy and Titus. He shares valuable insight from the historical background and an investigation of the Greek New Testament. Dr. Stott covers such topics as how a congregation should appoint leaders, the role of women in the ministry, the primary function of minister’s work, and how to deal with false teachers while remaining true to “sound doctrine.”
Legacy CollectionThese courses were acquired from the Institute for Theological Studies. They were taught by reputable seminary faculty and tend to have longer lectures and many more lessons than other Artos courses. Many of these courses only contain audio files with no other learning activities. We invite you to enjoy these vintage classics!
