If you’ve ever assumed the Bible’s standards for leaders are only for “super Christians,” Titus 1 flips that assumption upside down. These qualifications aren’t just a checklist for elders, they’re a picture of what mature faith looks like in everyday life.  In today’s message, Pastor Joel Hastings walks through Titus 1:1–9, explaining why God calls His church to be a biblical church (not just a big one) and how discipleship shapes our character through repentance, integrity, and obedience.  Here’s a couple key takeaways • The qualifications for elders are also a clear picture of Christian maturity.  • Being “above reproach” doesn’t mean perfect, it means quick to repent and walking in integrity.  • God forms us by obedience, not just information.

This morning we draw our study of Paul's letter to Titus, a pastoral, personal letter to a young preacher, to a close.
We can be uncontentious, and gentle, and considerate of others if we'll remember how God has been, and continues to be, with us. Pastors and teachers can help us do that, but they're not the only ones who need to be involved in a ministry of reminding. We all do.
In one verse Paul made it clear that if Titus wanted people to take note of him, as a minister of Jesus Christ, he'd have to speak, exhort, and reprove with all authority.
Today we're going to bring both sacred seasons (Christmas and Easter) together by focusing on the reason the grace of God appeared.
Today Paul uses a new phrase, and changes his target audience, but the message stays pretty much the same as last week. He speaks of adorning the doctrine of God.
Our slogan is “Where God's Word is Taught…and Lived”. And I think that's a good slogan for Chatham Christian Church.
Christians do still notice impurity in the world and should do their best to avoid it. But when they find themselves caught up in impure thoughts, and even impure actions, they simply acknowledge their weaknesses and repent of their sins.
By its very nature as the purveyor of God's truth there can be no freedom to teach things in the church that are not true. And those who intentionally do so must be silenced.
What prompted Paul to write this particular letter to Titus? As we read on, we discover the reason was tied to Paul's leaving Titus in Crete.
This morning we begin a study of Paul's letter to Titus, one of his last letters, a letter that is one of three referred to as Pastoral Epistles, letters written to young pastors, namely Timothy and Titus.

Our behavior must match our beliefs, our practice must match our proclamation.
Here in Titus 2 lay some of the most important concepts of the Christian life, listen as pastor Heath reads the manuscript of this sermon.
What we believe is not what we say we believe, what we believe is what we do. -Donald Miller
Good Elders are gatekeepers of sound doctrine from God's flock.
God's design for His church includes entrusting Elders with the stewardship of His household.
We are beginning our work on the letter to Titus, the second to last Epistle from the great Apostle Paul.
