SERMONS

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man
of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
-- 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Remaining Matters (Titus 1:5-16)

Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good
5The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. 6An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7Since an overseer manages Godʼs household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.8Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

  • Big Idea
    • God wants us all to live under and out of the leadership of His Son.    
  • The Standard                                                                                                                             
    • Paul draws attention to the importance of calling men to lead, whose lives reflect a right heart. 1 Timothy 2:12
    • Paul turns to some things that an elder must avoid.  Ephesians 5:18                                                                                                                       
    • Paul turns to some positive qualities to look for in a Christian leader.  Job 31:32;                                                                                                                    1 Timothy 3:2; Job 4:3-4
  • Deception                                                                                                                                                
    • The big problem in Crete was false believers, not unbelievers. 
    • Motive is everything.
  • Respond                                                                                                                                
    • Pray for us.  Hebrews 13:17-18
    • Keep the main thing the main thing.
