Daily Dose of Hope April 29, 2026 Scripture: Titus 3 Prayer: Abba Father, We come to you today in awe of your love for us. Thank you, Lord, for your sacrifice. Thank you for sitting high and looking low. We give you all the glory and praise, Lord Jesus. Help us to be less selfish and more like you. On our own, we mess it up. We need you, Jesus. We need you minute by minute. Guide our thoughts today, Lord. Guide our words and guide our actions. May we look more like you today, Lord, than we did yesterday. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We have been journeying through Paul's letters and we have made great progress. We are currently finishing up the book of Titus. Our reading for today is Titus 3. In this chapter, we see that Paul didn't want the Cretans to cause a scene and stir up political discontent. What was most important was the spread of the Gospel. Creating political conflict would not help the cause of the young church and Paul wanted to be sure they understood that. Again, they were not to get involved in quarrels and arguments that simply weren't that important. They needed to show the world that there was something different about them: humility, gentleness, and kindness. Rather than get involved in political messes, they should get involved in doing good in their community. It simply wasn't about them and their personal preferences; it was about reaching people for Jesus. How much more could we all do for the Kingdom if we worried less about personal preferences and politics and focused more on spreading the Good News of Jesus? Wow! We get so distracted with things we have very little control over. Again, don't major in the minors. Keep laser focus on what truly matters – Jesus. I wrote this list of questions for myself but thought I would share: -How much time do I spend thinking about politics and conflict rather than Jesus Christ and sharing the Gospel? -How often do I get frustrated or angry over politics and things I can't control instead of focusing on loving others and things I can control? -Do people know me for what I'm against or for what I am for? -Am I viewed as someone who is humble, gentle, and kind? If not, then why not? -Is Jesus central to my thoughts? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope April 28, 2026 Scripture: Titus 2 Prayer: Lord, Oh, how we need you. Cleanse my heart, cleanse my speech, cleanse my actions. I want the world to see that I belong to you and you alone. More of you, Jesus, and less of me. In Your Name, Amen Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We have been journeying through Paul's letters and we have made great progress. We are currently in the book of Titus. Our reading for today is Titus 2. In this chapter, Paul gives very specific instructions to young and old as to how to behave and conduct themselves as followers of Christ. As opposed to the false teachers in chapter one, Paul wants Titus to teach sound doctrine, which includes that behavior should be consistent with belief; there are certain virtues that Christians should live up to. Doing otherwise damages their witness in the community. Titus himself, as the leader, must also be an example of living a blameless, virtuous life. Unfortunately, we have all seen the consequences when a Christian leader fails to live righteously and it almost always has terrible ramifications for the Kingdom. Bottom line: There should be a direct link between theology and ethics. If we truly believe that God has been revealed and salvation has come, that those who believe are freed and cleansed from sin because of the blood of Christ, and that receiving Christ makes us new creations, THEN we should act accordingly. We are no longer slaves to the mess of the world. We have the ability to change, to act differently, to behave in a way that demonstrates the Spirit within us. Our behavior, our ethics, our speech should all testify to who and whose we are. How are you doing in this right now? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope April 27, 2026 Scripture: Titus 1 Prayer: Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We have been journeying through Paul's letters and we have made great progress. Today, we are starting pastoral letter #12 out of 13. Our reading for today is Titus 1. This is a letter from Paul to his dear friend, Titus. Paul had left Titus on the island of Crete to organize the church there and carry on the work that was started. One of his main tasks was to appoint elders or overseers for the local churches; this means basically choose some pastors. There were specific characteristics for the pastors that Paul outlines in this chapter, including being blameless, being faithful to a single wife, and not being prone to anger or drunkenness. These are consistent with the lists for elders in Paul's other letters as well. This first chapter highlights that the false teachers have made it to Crete as well. The circumcision group refers to Jewish Christians who are vehemently promoting the idea that to be a Christian, one must be a Jew first, which includes becoming circumcised. Paul wants this group silenced. They are teaching against the Gospel, which clearly states that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. All that is required for salvation is faith; anyone who adds to this is a false teacher. Think about the world we live in. False teachers are everywhere. They may not be promoting circumcision as a prerequisite for salvation but other ideas that are equally damaging. How important it is for us to grow our roots down deep into God's Word so that we won't be swayed by the many ideas out there, the many voices that are vying for our attention. One voice matters-Jesus. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Scripture: Titus 2:11-14
God's grace is unmerited favor that he bestows to save sinners and bring them into a relationship with him, but there is so much more to grace. It rescues us, causes us to anticipate Christ's glorious return, and it brings about transformation in our lives.Scripture: Titus 2:11–14
The 7-Day Self-Control Challenge (conducted a few months ago) was so popular that I wanted to share the recordings with you!If you're up for it, you can dig in for the next 60 days and really get a grip on TEMPERANCE or SELF-CONTROL in your life!For week 1, we'll set the foundation for a life of discipline and freedom in Christ. Self-control isn't about sheer willpower—it's about God's grace equipping you to say yes to what honors Him and no to what doesn't (Titus 2:11-12).

The truth of Scripture should have a powerful impact on our lifestyle. People in Crete were defined by sinful speech, broken families, beast-like behavior, and gluttony. Many claimed to know God but denied him by their deeds. Titus 2:1–5 provides exhortations for men and women to live a life that accords with sound doctrine. Scripture: Titus 2:1–5
Are you enjoying the simplicity of Christianity and of a Christian lifestyle? More times than not, we are tempted to overcomplicate this Jesus thing because we desire to be in control and in charge of our own lives. That's not the way the Lord intended for us to function, however. Perhaps there is freedom found in surrendering our own will and ways to the Lord so that we can live simply and joyfully.

In this message, we'll examine how the Gospel of Jesus Christ transforms the church live distinctly and bear the fruit of good works within the world we have been sent to reach. Scripture: Titus 3:1-15
In this message, we'll see how the grace that saves is also the grace that sanctifies. How life yoked to Christ teaches us how to walk wisely, live with the end in mind, and how God uses pastors to this end. Scripture: Titus 2:11-15
In this message, we'll look at some of the false gospels that were influencing the church at Crete in their day (as well as in ours). In doing so, we'll consider Paul's instruction for ordering the church so that we might remain steadfast in faith, sound in doctrine, and live transformed lives that come from the true Gospel of grace found in Jesus Christ. Scripture: Titus 1:1-16
Jesus, I embrace your kindness, love, and mercy, right where I am. Keywords: Mercy; kindness; new life; Holy Spirit; grace; Jesus. Scripture: Titus 3:4-7
How does the gospel give us hope? And how does that hope shape our public life? We're looking at how hope shapes the way in which we live our lives—not just in giving us inner peace and not just in our family life, but in our public life out in the world. In particular, how does hope shape the way in which we do our work? We're going to see 1) the passion of hope, 2) the case study of hope, and then 3) the reason for hope. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 25, 2009. Series: The Gospel, Hope, and the World. Scripture: Titus 2:11-3:9.
