  • 8 the Saying Is Trustworthy, and I Want You to Insist on These Things, So That Those Who Have Believed in God May Be Careful to Devote Themselves to Good Works
    Series: Salt and Light: God’s Vision for the Church Sermon: The Devotion of the Church Scripture: Titus 3:8-15 (ESV) Teacher: Jeff Norris Date: January 31, 2021 The dominant theme in Titus is good works … "Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works." Titus 2:7 "…who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works." Titus 2:14 "Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work." Titus 3:1 "The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works." Titus 3:8 "And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful." Titus 3:14 "One of the problems in the Cretan church is that they had assimilated their ideas about Jesus, the Christian God, to their ideas about their Greek gods…specifically Zeus, their chief god. Cretan people claimed that Zeus was born on their island and they loved to tell stories and mythologies about Zeus's underhanded character. He would seduce women and lie to get his way. So, Paul wants to very clear: the God revealed through Jesus is totally different than Zeus. His basic character are faithfulness and truth. Which means the Christian way of life will be about truth also." Tim Mackie, The Bible Project Past weeks’ big idea statements to highlight what is being emphasized in Titus: • Leadership in the Kingdom of God is not a title to have or a position to hold but a lifestyle to live, from a transformed heart.

  • The History of the Origins of Christianity. Book III. Saint Paul
    The History of the Origins of Christianity. Book III. Saint Paul. Author(s): Renan, Joseph Ernest (1823-1892). Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This book belongs to a seven-volume series, the first of which, Life of Jesus, is the most famous (or infamous). Saint Paul, the third volume, covers the life, conversion, missionary journeys, and death of Paul the Apostle. Comparing the events documented in the Book of Acts to other ancient sources, the historian concludes that the dates and places mentioned in Acts are historically accurate. Renan's account reflects his background in 19th century German higher criti- cism of the Bible.

  • Ephesians 6:21-24
    Ephesians 6:21-24 Ephesians 6:21 – “So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.” 1. Tychicus a. Tychicus was from the province of Asia (Acts ) b. Tychicus may have been from Ephesus in Asia Minor, but he is not mentioned in Luke’s account of Ephesus in Acts 19 and is not mentioned in the account of the sea voyage to Rome. c. Since Tychicus is in Rome around 61-62 AD while Paul is living under house arrest in Rome (60-62 AD) it would appear that Tychicus had traveled from Ephesus (or, Asia Minor) to Rome to see Paul. d. Tychicus is now returning to Ephesus and then to Colossae with these three letters (maybe, four letters or more): i. Ephesians ii. Colossae (Col. 4:7) iii. Philemon iv. (Laodicea, Col. 4:16) e. Tychicus will (has been) representing Paul in Asia Minor in Ephesus, Colossae and the other churches. It is likely that the Ephesian letter is a circular letter. f. After this: i. Tychicus is with Paul in Corinth when Paul writes Titus in Crete. Tychicus is mentioned as a possible replacement (along with Artemas) in Crete for Titus - Titus 3:12 – “When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.” ii. Tychicus had been with Paul in Rome during his second and final imprisonment in 67 AD before winter when Paul writes Timothy in Ephesus in 2 Timothy 4:12 – “Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.” g.

  • Titus - Building the Church
    Bible Study: Titus - Building the Church Author: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ Audience: Titus, a minister at Crete Date: approximately 63 A.D. Location: unknown (possibly Nicopolis) Theme: Organizing and supervising the church Genre: epistle/prose Outline Salutation (1:1-4) Qualifications of Elders (1:5-9) Dealing with False Teachers (1:10-16) Observation 1:1 Paul considered himself God’s slave; his task was to spread Christian faith and truth 1:2 Unlike Cretans, God cannot lie; He promised eternal life before ages of time, but… 1:3: In due time (i.e., a delay), He revealed His word and commanded Paul to proclaim it 1:4 Addressed to Titus, a fellow believer; a salutation of grace and peace 1:5 Paul left Titus in Create to appoint elders (plural) in every city (singular) 1:6 The qualifications for an elder; the husband (male) of one wife (female) 1:7 An elder is an overseer (interchangeable terms), God’s steward (manager); not greedy 1:8 Hospitable contrasts greedy; prudent implies wisdom; upright implies righteous 1:9 An elder must be doctrinally orthodox, so he can teach the truth and refute error 1:10 Because there are MANY rebels, bigmouths & deceivers (especially among the Jews) 1:11 They are teaching error for money; Paul commands Titus to silence them 1:12 Ironically, a Cretan “prophet” said that Cretans are always liars, evil and lazy 1:13 Paul agreed (!), commanded Titus to reprove them severely (truth supersedes love) 1:14 Two problem areas: Jewish myths, commandments of heretical men 1:15 Unbelievers have a defiled mind (reason) and conscience (moral compass) 1:16 They claim to know God (Jews?) but deny Him by their sinful, corrupt deeds Interpretation In what sense was an elder to be “the husband of one wife” (1:6)? The precise implications of "the husband of but one wife" have been debated through the centuries.

(www.Lockman.org Exhortation To Put On The Whole Armor Of God 6:10-20 EPH 6:10 Finally [in conclusion, from now on], be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. 1. “Finally, be strong in the Lord” - They are to depend on the Lord and be strengthened by Him. a. “Finally” is “tou loipou.” [too loi poo] - “For the rest, finally” - It may have the idea of “in conclusion” here. 1) This could also be the idea in these scriptures. (2 Cor. 13:11; Phil. 4:8; 1 Thess. 4:1; 2 Thess. 3:1). 2) It does not have that meaning in Philippians 3:1, but denotes some kind of shift in his thought. PHI 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you. 3) It could have the meaning of “henceforth” [from now on] as in Galatians 6:17. GAL 6:17 From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus. b. “be strong” is the passive imperative of “endunamoo” [en doo nah mah oh] and the passive means “be you empowered, to be made strong.” “Be strong” is the result of one trusting in the Lord. c. “in the Lord” - Lit “in Lord.” “Lord” refers to Jesus Christ.

Beyond a common missions strategy of ‘Jew first and then Gentile’ each trip was different. When the third trip is launched in the early 50s by Paul and Silas it will take on contours that set it apart from the others. Apart from the Asian ministry in Ephesus, every other part of the trip will be re-visiting previously established churches by Paul and his associ- ates. To some extent even Ephesus falls under this category, since Paul had paid a short visit to the city at the end of the second journey.
