Audio readings: Psalm 119:81-88 2 Timothy 1 Jeremiah 48, Jeremiah 49:1-6 2 TIMOTHY 1 This was the Apostle Paul’s final letter ever – before his death! It therefore reads like a last will and testament. He had a parting legacy for his ‘son’ (in the faith) Timothy – in fact, an entire inheritance! “Timothy, I’m handing over to…

Audio readings: Psalm 119:73-80 1 Timothy 6:3-21 Jeremiah 46, Jeremiah 47 1 TIMOTHY 6 If you are a slave, then you may not be reading these notes! But if you an ‘employee’ then you must give one hundred percent to your employer. If they are a Christian too, then give them one hundred and fifty percent! Treat your…

Audio readings: Psalm 119:65-72 1 Timothy 5, 1 Timothy 6:1-2 Jeremiah 43, Jeremiah 44, Jeremiah 45 1 TIMOTHY 5 Social action played a vital part in the First Century Church. Children and grandchildren need to put their faith into action by caring for their own parents and grandparents, especially vulnerable widows; this is a way of repaying them in part for…

Audio readings: Proverbs 25:11-20 1 Timothy 4 Jeremiah 40:7-16, Jeremiah 41, Jeremiah 42 1 TIMOTHY 4 Some false teachers had moved into the area. “You must not marry”, “You must avoid certain foods” – these were some of the ascetic heresies that they tried to plant in the local church. This was the beginning of Gnosticism, which included the…

Audio readings: Psalm 119:57-64 1 Timothy 3 Jeremiah 38, Jeremiah 39, Jeremiah 40:1-6 1 TIMOTHY 3 It is OK to ‘aspire’ to be a church leader, since it is a ‘noble’, serving role in God’s church. One of Timothy’s chief tasks was now to appoint a group of ‘Overseers’ or ‘Elders’ for each local church. With Paul elsewhere and…

Audio readings: Psalm 119:49-56 1 Timothy 2 Jeremiah 35, Jeremiah 36, Jeremiah 37 1 TIMOTHY 2 We are urged to pray together. Requests, prayers, intercession, thanksgiving – prayer in all its ‘flavours’. Do it alone and do it together. Surprisingly, Paul tells us to pray for all rulers, including the evil Emperor Nero, who was in power at the…

Audio readings: Psalm 119:41-48 1 Timothy 1 Jeremiah 32:26-44, Jeremiah 33, Jeremiah 34 1 TIMOTHY 1 Discipleship is not just the best way to grow the church… it is the probably the only way! Large worship meetings, slick Alpha courses, well-equipped buildings, powerful preaching, miracles, great youth work and a missional emphasis are all highly desirable, but they…

Audio readings: Proverbs 25:1-10 2 Thessalonians 3 Jeremiah 31:15-40, Jeremiah 32:1-25 2 THESSALONIANS 3 “Deliver us from the Evil One” – this is a basic part of the prayer pattern that Jesus himself taught us. Paul begins this chapter in that frame of mind too. Pray that the gospel message he speaks will be honoured and obeyed. Pray…

Audio readings: Psalm 119:33-40 2 Thessalonians 2 Jeremiah 29:24-32, Jeremiah 30, Jeremiah 31:1-14 2 THESSALONIANS 2 God is not simply ‘love’, but ‘justice’ too. Paul does not ‘pull any punches’ here. The previous chapter paints a fearsome landscape of what will be done to those who are disobedient to the gospel and who have rejected Christ. Those people…
Tuesday 13th October 2026
Audio readings: Psalm 119:25-32 2 Thessalonians 1 Jeremiah 27, Jeremiah 28, Jeremiah 29:1-23 2 THESSALONIANS 1 This letter was sent for the same reason that 1 Thessalonians was written – and as a follow-up and reinforcement to it. A church in the middle of persecution needs a great deal of encouragement, with reasons for enduring and persevering emphasised strongly.…
