The Books of Titus
Leading Like Jesus – Part 7
Titus 3:9-15 Scripture Reference But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 6
Titus 3:4-8 Scripture Reference But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. This is a faithful saying,…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 5
Pastor Terry opened Titus 3 and began a three-message focus on the “consummation of a faithful leader”—putting everything together we’ve learned about leadership so our lives openly announce God to the world. Leadership is influence; the Christian leader’s influence must point people past us to Christ. In Titus 3:1–3 Paul gives three public-facing marks of Christlike leadership: (1) be subject to authorities, (2) be civil in accusations—gentle and meek, and (3) be seasoned with humility, remembering what we ourselves once…
Leading Like Jesus – part 4
What holds a Christian leader together when life hurls temptations and trials? Grace. From Titus 2:11–15, Pastor Terry shows that God’s grace is the catalyst—it saves, sanctifies, sustains, is sovereign in purpose, and supports us as we speak, exhort, and rebuke with authority. Grace doesn’t just get us to heaven; grace trains us to deny ungodliness and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world—zealous of good works and looking for our blessed hope, the glorious appearing of…
Leading Like Jesus
After Titus cleans house in Crete (Titus 1), Paul turns to building the house—shaping believers whose lives match sound doctrine. Pastor Terry unpacks Titus 2:1–10, where Paul addresses five groups—aged men, aged women, young women, young men, and servants (employees)—and shows how doctrine must form character at church, at home, and at work. Start with the Bible; let behavior follow; and in everything, “adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour.” Introduction & Context (Titus 1 → 2)We continue Leading Like…
Leading Like Jesus – Part 2
Tonight we’re continuing our study in Titus. Our series is Leading Like Jesus, and we’re covering this in seven parts. This is part two. Last week we covered the commitments of a faithful leader and the character of a faithful leader. Remember, Titus’ purpose in Crete (Titus 1:5) was to set in order the things that were wanting and to ordain elders in every city. His job was to train leaders who could replicate the ministry. So as we move…
Leading Like Jesus
Pastor Terry begins a seven-week series on the Book of Titus, focusing on biblical leadership. The first session covers the commitments and character of a faithful leader, using Paul’s letter to Titus as the foundation. 1. Commitment of a Faithful Leader: – To the Master: Leaders must be devoted to God above all, serving for His glory, not for recognition or titles. – To the Mission: Christians are called to represent Christ, live godly lives, and help others…
