In this sermon we focus on Titus 1, emphasizing the importance of godliness that is to accompany those who know and believe the truth of the gospel of grace. Paul instructs Titus to identify and appoint leaders in Crete who exemplify godly character and conduct, setting a standard for the church to follow. These leaders should be above reproach, not arrogant or quick-tempered, but hospitable, self-controlled, holy and disciplined. Their lives should reflect the transformative power of the gospel, demonstrating that true godliness springs from knowing the truth and believing the gospel of grace. Paul's introduction in Titus is rich with theological truths, He underscores that he was sent by Jesus for the faith of God’s chosen people (elect) and so that they may posses the knowledge of the truth and live godly lives, rooted in the knowledge of the truth. Paul warns against false teachers and apparently a form of legalism, urging Titus to confront those who spread deceptive teachings for personal gain. Paul mentions the hope of eternal life, promised by a God who never lies. He contrasts the trustworthy nature of God with the deceitfulness of the Cretan culture and false teachers. This hope of eternal life that marks Christianity motivates believers to pursue godliness, looking forward to the fulfillment of all that God has promised. Healthy church leadership is crucial for a thriving church. Leaders must model godliness, manage their households well, and hold firm to sound doctrine. They should be able to teach and refute false teachings, ensuring the church remains grounded in the truth. As we grow in our knowledge of God and His promises, and believe them, we are empowered to live in a way that honors Him and benefits the church.
