Titus 2:9-10
Our modern day work mindset is usually go to work to earn a paycheck so I can pay my bills and have a decent quality of life. In this passage Titus, teaches us that our work has a much higher purpose. We should view our work as an opportunity to express worship to God.

Titus 2:1-8
In chapter 2 Paul turns his attention to the members of the church at Crete and instructs Titus to have a family chat teaching the older men and women, along with the younger men and women, how to live rightly before the culture in which they live. A life that shines godliness into an ungodly culture.

Titus 1:10-16
We finish chapter 1 in our study today. In this passage Paul tells us why elders are to be able to teach sound doctrine and refute those who contradict it – there are people in the church who are contradicting sound doctrine. You can identify them as ones who are rebellious and deceiving other families in the church. We learn who are the wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Titus 1:6-9
We move in our study from the roles and responsibilities of an elder to the qualifications of an elder. In this first part we examine the mandate from Scripture that the office of elder is reserved for men only and that he is to be above reproach. A summary statement used by Paul indication the elder is to live his life in a way that is worthy of imitating because he imitates Christ.

Titus 1:5
Paul now gets to the purpose for writing this letter – for Titus to put the church in order. Verses 5-9 focus on church leadership. In today’s teaching we look at the role of the office of elder.

We finish looking at the introduction to Titus where the Apostle Paul gives the purpose, goals, or we could say, the passions of a faithful Christ follower.
