What was Slavery like in the time of Paul? In this podcast episode we examine the historical concept of what was slavery like and how did it operate in the time of Timothy?  Why would Paul write of such a 'hot topic' of society? How did the early church view and respond to the subject of slavery? I Timothy 6:1-2 Examples of Slavery/servant in the scriptures: War (Numbers 31, Deut 20), Purchased (Lev. 25), Sold oneself into (Lev. 25, Deut. 15), Sold oneself to pay for debt (2 Kings 4, Neh. 5), Received via a gift (Gen. 29:24), Inherited servant (Lev. 25:46), and one Born into slavery. What does a "calling" have to do with this subject and that of the writing of I Timothy (letter to a young pastor of Ephesus)?  It is said that 1/3rd of the Roman Empire was made up of slaves. www.GroundedinChrist.com www.HBCpicayune.com Heritage Baptist Church, Pastor Jeremy Wilson

Timothy is instructed not to "Neglect" the spiritual gift that is in him? Can it be neglected, and does every believer have a gift? How many gifts....Oh the questions that are asked!  We hope this first episode in the subject of spiritual gifts will be a help for you to LEARN and UNDERSTAND what God would have you to know and how to operate with the gift He has given you.

021 GIC Episode 21 1st Timothy 3.14-16 In this episode we will discuss the text that helps us to see when our Expectations are not fulfilled as "we expected" and often leads to disappointment in the life of the believer.  It has been said before that our biggest reason for disappointments in life is due to our expectations being 'too high or great'. Paul writes to Timothy with the instruction for us to find this fulfillment and not disappointment in life as a believer.
