In this sermon we will continue our study of the mission of the church in Titus 1:10-16. In this passage, Paul challenges us to confront dangerous errors that often try to worm their way into the church. We must fight for the truth that our salvation is based on faith alone and there is nothing we can (or need to) add to it. At the same time, God holds us accountable to live out that truth by living for Him.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,

"Why is it important to fight/stand up for the truth of salvation?" "What difference does that truth make in your life?"

The Apostle Paul challenges our church to raise up godly leaders in Titus 1:5-9. Elders are one example of those kinds of leaders, but every believer should aspire to grow in spiritual maturity.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself,

"Am I growing in my love for the Lord?"

"Do I lead/inspire others to know/worship Him?"

"Does my character reflect my relationship with Jesus?"

We start a new sermon series through the book of Titus. Our focus will be on what God says our mission/goal as a church should be. In Titus 1:1-4, we'll talk about our responsibility to know the truth, live it out, and trust in the hope of eternal life.

As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself, "How did I come to know God's truth?" "How does knowing that truth make a difference in my life?"

A lot has changed in the world, our country, our community, and our church over the past 5 months. It has left many of us thinking, “Now what? What happens now? What do we do?”

For the next few weeks, we are going to consider what happens, what we should do, and how we should live in this unique time. We’re going to start by looking at the church. Some people are comfortable coming into the church building, some prefer the safety of joining us online, the church is scattered… now what?

While the effects of a pandemic on this scale is unprecedented, the church has been scattered before. We are going to look this week at Acts 11:19-26 and see what God does when He scatters His people. Discovering what God has done for His church before will help us to see what we should do now.

How is church different now? How might God be using this moment for His purposes?
