Bible Text: 1 Timothy 4:1-16 | Preacher: Kwan Chan | Series: NT Reads the NT | False teachers had infiltrated the church in Ephesus and had influenced members to become speculators of the Bible. As a result, they had drifted from their responsibility of being stewards of the Gospel; they had stopped living as a disciple of Jesus that made disciples for Jesus.

Paul wrote to Timothy to charge him to correct the false teachings and faulty behaviour in the church. In addition, he was to inspire the church to once again be stewards of the Gospel by teaching good doctrine and by setting a godly example.

Our text leads us to answer this important question: are we speculators of the Bible or stewards of the Gospel? Are we only talking about discipleship, or are we living out God’s call to be disciples that make disciples?
