The Book of Titus

We are to be so transformed by the Gospel that we are fully devoted to the things that are good and profitable for the world around us, taking hold of what matters and letting go of the things that don’t.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to live lives of self-control and right conduct, putting aside entitlement and seeking personal encounter with God.

We cannot confine salvation to a me-sized box; we must be a people who extend unconditional mercy to others and understand that forgiveness is not just a good idea, but is mandatory for salvation.

Paul’s instructions for voluntarily coming under authority apply to us as employees in the marketplace, where we are to show and put on Jesus.

We are asked as a family to reflect on Paul’s instructions to men and women in Titus 2 and honestly ask ourselves this question: Does my life reflect right teaching?

Paul’s message to slaves in Titus 2 is not an endorsement of the human institution of slavery, but is a call to serve Christ as Master regardless of circumstance.

Paul encourages Titus to remain strong in the faith, leaning into both the redemptive and instructional aspects of grace, while walking humbly in the authority he has been given.

The instructions to Titus for right living as men and women in the Kingdom are to have a generational impact, passing on the faith to the younger generations.

Continuing our study of Titus 2, we look at how women are to model Kingdom femininity, a role which can only be lived out through a life rooted in Jesus.

In Titus 2, Paul describes what Kingdom femininity looks like, outlining a life that is appropriate of women who are revealing the Father to the world.

Titus 2 outlines how older men are to live before Christ, asking them if their life decisions reveal Jesus.

The Lord sees disobedience as rebellion, and we are to live in alignment with right teaching where Jesus matters more than anything else.

Spiritual authority is intended to draw others into the unifying truth and the transformative life of one shared faith

In Titus 1:4-9, Paul instructs Titus on spiritual authority. This authority is intended to draw others to the unifying truth and transformative life of the common faith we share as believers.

We are challenged as a family to faithfully step into the tithe, to be a body that gives and provides for the needs of our community.

Titus 1:5-9 outlines true masculinity, calling men to order their lives not around culture but around the character and person of Jesus.

As we begin our study of the Book of Titus, we are asked to allow this book to correct our doctrine and teach us how to live.
