Podcasts about titus 1:5-9

What does it take to lead a healthy church? In this standalone message from Titus 1:5-9, we explore the life and character of a shepherd — and why the health of a church is so deeply tied to the health of its leaders. The Apostle Paul's instructions to Titus aren't just a checklist for eldership; they're a picture of what it looks like when a man is genuinely formed by the gospel and submitted to Jesus, the Chief Shepherd. We'll see that healthy churches don't happen by accident — they're shaped by men who cling to the gospel, lead with integrity, and prove their character at home before they prove it anywhere else. Whether you're in church leadership, considering it, or simply want to understand what faithful shepherding looks like, this message offers a grounding and honest look at the calling, the character, and the cost of leading God's people well.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

What is the work of elders in the church today?  Are they primarily decision-makers?  Or, should their primary work be to counsel and encourage?  It's not easy for Christians to come to agreement on the function of elders.  What did Paul see as the primary role of elders on the island of Crete, according to Titus 1:9?  That's what we want to consider in this 11 1/2 minutes long episode.
