Stepping out in faith…
We have a need for godly leadership within the church. Leadership that is above reproach. Even when Paul wrote his letter to Titus concerning the churches around Crete, we see his concern for proper teaching. There were many false teachers at the time and Paul warned Titus of this and that it was important to …
Yes, everyone has their own opinion about what a church needs, but is it biblical? Last week we looked at Titus 1:1-4 and learned that Paul wrote this letter to Titus to encourage him in the task they shared in building up the church. Paul had been commanded by God to preach the gospel to …
We all have to grow up some time, right? Well, at least that's the hope. In this message, Paul writes to Titus, a pastor serving in Crete. He advises Titus on what to teach the churches. The letter is written to Titus, but it also serves as instructions to the churches and leaders of today. …
