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.

Commands relevant to our lives — Rejoice, pray, be thankful (1Th 5:16-18, Heb 13:15-16). We can't understand praise until we understand providence. Praise has a power that transforms our life and impacts others around us, while in the process gives glory to God. Law of recompense (Psa 33:1, Psa 33:22). If "the joy of the Lord is our strength" then we have no strength without joy (Neh 8:10).
