Titus
Our Ongoing Devotion
There are some things we should oppose, but our lives need to be guided by what we are for. For Christians, our ongoing devotion is to good works.

Our Devotion
We do a lot in life, but what should we really devote ourselves to? The answer for Christians is good works, because of what God has done for us.

Trained by Grace
The book of Titus emphasized the virtue of self-control, and it’s easy to feel guilty about our lack of self-control. How do we actually become self-controlled, though? Just as we are saved by grace, we are trained by grace.

Conduct That Fits the Gospel
Just as there is clothing that fits an occasion, there is conduct that fits the gospel. This passage describes that conduct for older men, older women, younger women, younger men, ministers of God’s Word, and employees.

Elders are to Rebuke False Teaching
Why does every church need elders? Because false teachers exist, and elders are to rebuke them, for their good, and the good of the whole church

Elders in Every Town
For any living thing to survive, it needs to be fed and protected from predators. For a church to really last, God directs that elders be appointed in it to feed it and protect it from predators.

Built on Truth
Titus is a book about how the church can really last. So little in our life truly does last, but in the opening to the letter, we find one of the ways the church can last is because it is built on a solid foundation of truth.

The Danger of Falsehood
Last week we looked at the freedom that comes from the truth, but is there a danger to falsehood as well? There is, and here we see if really love people and godliness, we must rebuke false teachers with sound doctrine.
The Church Is An Elder-Led Community of Discipleship
As we conclude our series on community, we see that the church is led by elders who exercise oversight over the flock. While the idea of having an overseer in my walk with God feels strange and even offensive to most Americans, here we see why it is so necessary.
