Seven Practices For Godly Living

July 23, 2023 • Pastor Miguel Yustiz • Titus 3:1–2

Paul recognizes that the Cretans were (in a lot of ways) products of their culture, so he commands Titus to keep the Cretan believers accountable to living godly lives that will contrast the sin-dominated culture in which they lived.

Warning Label

August 6, 2023 • Pastor John Rickman • Titus 3:9–15

So many products today come with warning labels. As Paul concludes the letter to Titus, he gives a few parting warnings for the church: focus on the things that matter, avoid distractions, and beware of divisions.

The Christian's Motivation for Godly Living

July 30, 2023 • Pastor Miguel Yustiz • Titus 3:3–8

Paul explains to Titus that the motivation for continually reminding the Cretans to live godly lives should be our understanding of God’s saving character. He carries out his explanation by answering the question: Why should Christians live godly lives?

Transformed Living

July 16, 2023 • Pastor Mark Johnson • Titus 2:11–15

The daily living of the Cretans needed transformation (Titus 1:12). So does ours (3:3). The repeated words in the short letter to Titus reveal HOW: “Savior,” “Doctrine/Teaching” (3x), “Work(s)/good works” (8x). The truths about our Savior transform our LIVING. Deeds display doctrine. Belief is the basis of Behavior. Faith produces works (Eph. 2:10). Grace inspires godliness… Chapter 2 called all ages groups to Gospel-transformed living (2:1, 2:10). Next (‘for”), Paul unpacked this grace-inspired transformation process step by step.
