Fusion: week of 5/17

FAMILY THEME: SOUND FAITH

FAITH YOU CAN COUNT ON

Titus 1:1-16

Titus was Paul's friend, fellow worker, and missionary partner.

Titus was leading the church on the island of Crete when Paul

wrote this letter to him. As a young pastor, Titus needed to

learn the importance of building the church on sound faith.

1.  Sound Faith Rests on the Truth of God's Word

     (Titus 1:1-4)

     God has revealed the truth of the gospel in His Word.

 
2.  Qualified Leaders Teach and Model Sound Faith 

     (Titus 1:5-9)

     God's design is for qualified leaders to model a godly

     lifestyle and sound faith to others.

 
3.  Sound Faith Must Be Protected

     (Titus 1:10-16)

     False teaching and worldly philosophies can damage

     people's faith. The church and her leaders cannot

     tolerate false doctrine.
