"The man that verse was written to had both church and sacraments already"
He also had the scriptures and they were the only things mentioned that could make a person wise unto salvation. If the church, sacraments or history could, Paul would have added them.
Why? He was writing to a Christian bishop whom he, himself, had appointed. "Church" and "sacraments" are obvious from the context.
I have no idea where you're getting history, from, though, unless you mean Timothy's personal history with Paul.
