1 Timothy

We might be surprised by how much space Paul devotes to the subject of widows, but when we consider the heart of God, it’s not surprising at all. Throughout the Bible, God makes it abundantly clear that He sees, cares for, and loves widows and orphans. And the church, built upon the blueprint of His Sos, is called to support widows as well.

Big Idea: Because God cares for the vulnerable, the church must reflect His heart by supporting widows according to His Word.

1. Family Widows: Support Them Within Their Own Households (3-4, 7-8, 16)
2. True Widows: Support Them Within God’s Household (5-6, 9-10)
3. Young Widows: Safeguard Them Within Their God-Give Role (11-15)
