Teacher: Jeromy Tuck | Text: 1 Timothy 1:3–15
Jeromy Tuck led a powerful and engaging class on 1 Timothy, focusing on Paul’s charge to Timothy to guard against false doctrine and promote sound teaching rooted in love, faith, and a pure heart. The discussion emphasized how truth is constantly under attack—then and now—and that knowing sound doctrine is the best defense. Jeromy warned against becoming entangled in myths, genealogies, and pointless arguments that distract from the work of God.
The class explored how the law is useful when applied correctly—not as a path to righteousness, but as a mirror to reveal sin. Paul’s testimony was highlighted as a message of hope: though once a violent persecutor, he was shown mercy, forgiven, and appointed to serve. This reminds believers that no one is too far gone for God to redeem and use.
Through dialogue, scripture, and reflection, the class reinforced that sincere faith, a pure heart, and knowing the truth are foundational to resisting error and living for Christ.
