    About this ebook

    “Ready to Receive, Ready to Share” presents a unique “3-D” approach to studying Paul’s letters known as I Timothy, II Timothy, and Titus. Four themes that are found in each letter are studied in parallel. Rather than starting with the first verse of I Timothy and working to the last verse in Titus, this study focuses on four themes and examines all three letters at the same time.

      Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels... These valuables are the best of the best. Items of honor that would be used for honored guests. There are also utensils made of wood and clay. These items are necessary for the dirty work, the unseen tasks. They are items of dishonor.

      So, what do expensive vessels and wooden utensils have to do with leadership? Paul continues by describing exactly what happens after every meal in your home.
