In Titus 3.12-15 helps us to see the importance of gospel-partnership. That is the only way the gospel spreads throughout the world. There are four parts to this text: 1) a roll call, 2) a repeated reminder, 3) a command to kokua, 4) the grace to accomplish it.

Titus 3.1-2 teaches us that Christians must work for the good of the place they live. We are exhorted to honor those around us regardless of our status in society. There are three truths we find in our text: 1) a great reminder, 2) our behavior towards authorities, 3) our behavior towards everyone else. 

Josh Lockhart preaches from Ephesians 2.11-13. Here we see that Christians cannot forget where we came. We must remember our hopeless past so that we can always thankfully rejoice for what Christ has done for us. Here he shows us two ways to do that: 1) we are commanded to remember and 2) in response, we are to rejoice.

As we continue our break from 1 Timothy, Josh preaches from Titus 2.7-8. Paul instructs Titus to model Christ-like Character through two ways: 1) his good works and 2) his teaching.

In Ephesians 1.3-14, Josh helps us to see all that the Godhead has done for us and our salvation: 1) The Father Adopts us, 2) The Son Redeems us, and 3) the Spirit Seals us. And here we find the proper response is to spend our lives praising God.

We took a break from our 1 Timothy series as Josh Lockhart preaches from Titus 2.2. Here, Paul commands the older men in Crete to be examples for the church in four specific ways: 1) sober-minded, 2) dignified, 3) self-controlled, and 4) sound in faith, love, and steadfastness. In response, older men must embrace the gift they are to the body and the body must be careful not to squander this gift.

Josh Lockhart continues our monthly series through Titus by preaching on the necessity and nature of biblical eldership.
