FAMILY THEME: SOUND DOCTRINE

TRUTH YOU CAN LIVE BY

Titus 2:1-15

Doctrine refers to teaching. Something that is sound is

healthy. So "sound doctrine" is healthy or accurate

teaching. In his letter to the young pastor, Titus, the

apostle Paul was quite clear about the importance of

sound doctrine in the church.

1.  Sound Doctrine Guides Our Behavior

     (Titus 2:1-8)

     Paul instructed Titus to teach men and women of

     all ages to live in ways that conform to sound

     doctrine.

 
2.  Sound Doctrine Teaches Us Submission 

     (Titus 2:9-10)

     Even bondservants (slaves) who followed Christ

     were to be subject to their masters.

 
3.  Sound Doctrine Keeps Our Focus on Christ and His Return

     (Titus 2:11-15)

     Looking forward to Christ's return helps us reject sin.
