DISCOVERING THE MYSTERIES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT E-BOOK MANUAL PART 8 OF 10 THE EPISTLES OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE THESSALONIANS, TO TIMOTHY, TO TITUS, AND TO PHILEMON

Paul and his missionary companions found success preaching to the people in Thessalonica but were ultimately forced out of the city by detractors. Sometime after they left, Paul learned that the Thessalonian Saints had remained faithful and were sharing the gospel with others.

The books of 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus are known as the pastoral Epistles because they contain instruction to help leaders regulate the Church. In these epistles Paul described the qualifications and the examples of practical gospel living. He warned Church leaders of perilous times to come and counselled them to protect the Saints from the destructive influence of false teachings. He taught that the holy scriptures are the source of sound doctrine and instruction.
