In our text this morning, the Apostle Paul shares his testimony, and he declares emphatically, “I – the Apostle Paul – was a sinner who needed a saviour! And I have a Saviour! And his name is JESUS!” 1 Timothy 1:12-17

A love for controversies, speculations and bunny trails was causing the Ephesian Elders to run off track. So as we learned last week, Paul told Timothy to stay in Ephesus to set things right because when leaders fall, the people suffer, and Paul saw that no good would come in...
