The past 50 years have brought many changes to our church. Our name changed. The inside appearance changed. The Bible translation used in worship services changed—twice. The senior pastor changed—three times. In view of all these changes, one thing remained the same—the faithfulness of God. Last night we celebrated the past. This morning we are looking to the future. How must we move forward for another 50 years or until Jesus returns!
In Titus 2:11-15 we are given three paths to navigate life as we move forward both as an individual and a congregation.
We must move forward with the proper message, v. 11.
We must move forward with the proper lifestyle, v. 12.
We must move forward with the proper motivation, vv. 13-14.
Verse 15 wraps it up by commanding the pastor to “declare these things; exhort (encourage) and rebuke with all authority.”

Living Wisely in 2024

TAP "NOTES" TO TAKE, SAVE, AND SHARE YOUR OWN NOTES 2023 will soon be a closed book—deposited on the shelf of time; it will not be taken down again until God opens the volumes of the ages for His final review and judgment. There is nothing we can do about 2023, but we can decide to make some alterations going into 2024. Today’s passage reveals that no matter what the new year brings, we must choose to live wisely. There are four characteristics of living wisely in 2024. 1. Be careful how you walk, v. 15. 2. Make the most of your time, v. 16. 3. Know God’s will for your life, v. 17. 4. Be controlled by the Spirit, v. 18. The important issue is NOT what 2024 will bring upon you. The crucial issue is what you will bring into 2024.
