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 sermon from Stan Smith.

Elder Tom Toone shares five important things for believers to remember as they live for the Lord.

Was there a time in your life that you thought that you had to earn your way into heaven?
How did you react to that thought?
How are you pouring into the next generation of believers?

Jesus will encourage us with the truth that following Him is more than worth it. We may have to lose a lot in order to follow Him, but in return we gain a church family to support us in the present and eternal life for the future.

Why is it worth it to follow Christ?
What benefits do I have right now because I am a Christian?

Mark 10:17-27 will confront us with the most important question in the world, "What must we do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus will explain how difficult it is to go to heaven, because we want to trust in everything other than Him. But what is impossible with man is possible with God, because He provides a way to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
What must I do to be saved? Why do I believe that?
