THE APPRENTICE
Sunday Evening Teaching June 2009
Long before Sir Alan Sugar, St. Paul knew all about apprentices. There are a number of "trainees" mentioned in Acts and in Paul's letters. Timothy seems to have been the one who got the prize in the end; (did Paul ever say, "You're Fired", to John Mark - see Acts 15:37-38)?
Timothy's "prize" was to be left behind in Ephesus to organise the Church after Paul left in a hurry, (see Acts 19). It could have been worse - Titus was sent to Crete - a much harder task, (see Titus 1:12)!
Paul's Letters to Timothy have much to teach us; they show us Paul's concerns for new Christians, his fears for the dangers which would lead them astray, his priorities for ministry and, above all, his wise advice to Timothy, the favourite apprentice.
