Upon coming to faith in Jesus we do not simply secure eternal life, but should seek to have the pattern of our daily lives transformed by our faith in him. Our knowledge of the gospel should lead us to live godly lives that give testimony to the truth that is in us. This pursuit is not an optional one, but rather is “entrusted by the command of God our Savior” (Titus 1:3).

7 - Avoid & Learn, Titus 3:9-15
June 23, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom
While we would hope that all would respond to biblical correction in their lives, some, even after being duly warned, will persist in the error of our ways. We are to separate ourselves from those who stir up division and instead devote ourselves “to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need” (Titus 3:14). 1. What to avoid (vs. 9-11) 2. What to support (vs. 12-14) 3.

6 - Obedient & Ready, Titus 3:1-8
June 16, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom
Living godly lives does not preclude us from interacting with the world but, on the contrary, should encourage us “to be ready for every good work” (Titus 3:1). Recognizing what Christ has done for us, we seek to follow his example and have a positive and beneficial impact on those around us. 1. Our example (vs. 1-2) 2. Our past (v. 3) 3.

5 - Grace & Training, Titus 2:11-15
June 9, 2019 • Josh Lindstrom
The life we are called to live in Christ is not one that will occur naturally to us. It is a gift of grace and requires a conscious decision “training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age” (Titus 2:12). As fellow recipients of his grace, we unabashedly encourage each other to the pattern of life he has called us to. 1. Grace has appeared (v. 11) 2. Train accordingly (vs. 12-13) a. Renounce sin (v. 12a) b. Live righteously (v. 12b) c. With joy (vs. 12c-13) 3. Always remember (v. 14) 4. Speak truth (v. 15) Songs: Great Things #7111321 by J Myrin and P Wickham Phil Wickham Music Follow You Anywhere #7123196 by B Younker, K Stanfill, J Ingram & P Wickham 2019 Kristian Stanfill Publishing Designee No Longer Slaves #7030123 by J D Helser & M Helser 2014 © Bethel Music Publishing Living Hope #7106807 by B Johnson & P Wickham Bethel Music Publishing
