1st Timothy – Fight the Good Fight – 2011 – Phoenix, AZ
The theme for the Spring 2011 Bible conference in Phoenix is found both at the beginning and end of the book (1Ti 1:18, 1Ti 6:12). In each reference, different words and phrases are used. In the first, Paul speaks of the good fight of faith as an ongoing campaign, thus reminding us that we are part of a vast and great spiritual army. In the last, his words focus on our own personal struggle, a good reminder that no one can fight our battle for us. This scope and intensity will be captured as we follow Paul’s thought through the book.

Submission is the Greek word hupotasso. It is a verb meaning to be arranged in proper rank ” as
in a military sense." In a non military sense, Thayer’s definition is "a voluntary attitude of giving in,
cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden.” The Word of God encourages all the
above in a healthy spiritual life. We are told to encourage one another, bear one another’s burdens,
live peaceably with one another, consider the other person’s needs above our own, and so forth.
From Series: "The Beauty of Submission -- 2020 Kansas Ladies Retreat"
We are designed for submission to submit is to participate in the plan God has for us. But we are designed for so much more! We are designed to beautify the gospel messag e and the Person of the
Gospel in all that we say and do in how we cook and create, in how we live and love, in how we sing
and serve, in how we give and pray, parent and praise. We are designed to stir hearts by creating
beauty that reflects the beauty of Jesus.
