In this chapter the apostle exhorts Timothy to the discharge of his office with respect to all sorts of persons, of every age, sex; and condition, he was concerned with, giving reasons for it, taken from the nature of the Gospel of Christ: he exhorts him in general to insist in his public ministry on those things, which were agreeable to sound doctrine, Tit 2:1 and particularly what became aged men and aged women, and young men and young women, Tit 2:2-6 in all which, both with respect to doctrine and practice, he desires him to be a pattern to them, that so even his very adversaries may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of him, Tit 2:7,8. And next he charges him to exhort servants, to obey their masters, and seek to please them, and not contradict them, and to be faithful to them; that so the doctrine of God their Saviour, professed by them, might be adorned in all things, Tit 2:9,10. And the reasons why the apostle would have duty urged on persons of every age, sex, and state, are taken from the nature of the Gospel being a doctrine of grace and salvation, which was preached to all sorts of persons, Tit 2:11, and from the efficacy of it, in teaching men to deny sin, and live a holy life and conversation, Tit 2:12 and from an expectation of eternal glory and happiness at the appearance of Christ, which the Gospel encourages to, Tit 2:13; and from the end of Christ's giving himself for his people, and redeeming them from sin, the sum and substance of the Gospel, which was, that they might be purified, and be zealous of good works, Tit 2:14 and these exhortations were to be delivered by Titus with authority, and in such a manner, that he might not be despised, Tit 2:15.
We’ve got a great time in the Word lined up for you today. Whether we’re at home or on the job, we’re to live what we believe! When others look at our lives, they should see Jesus. And pastor John will explain what that looks like in our daily walk.
What exactly is the Christian life supposed to look like?
With Sound Doctrine you can take in and apply to your life in Christ, this is Light on the Hill. Thanks for joining us. Head over to Titus chapter two if you would. Turn on the TV today and it’s quite likely you’ll encounter some older men and women acting in a terrible way. Very sadly this has an impact on the younger generation. But as we open Titus we receive a beautiful description of the kind of older men and women we should be. We have a golden opportunity to teach the younger generation how to live in Christ.
Our pastor and teacher is John Randall and he’ll pay a visit to Titus chapter two today. Don’t let its size fool you. Titus may be short in volume, but it’s long in practical application. As with most of Paul’s writings, Titus is packed with insight that we can put into practice immediately in our own daily walk. In this chapter the focus turns from the pastors to the congregation!
There is so much deception and lies that are regularly communicated from places we wouldn’t expect, like the church. These untruths continue to derail the purposes of God in the people of God. Simply put, sound doctrine is the greatest tool we have to combat this widespread problem. Pastor James believes this will undoubtedly preserve your life!
