Fusion: week of 11/24

FAMILY THEME: MODELING THE FAITH

Titus 2:1-15

New life in Christ corresponds with new thinking and specific 

changes in behavior.

1.  Discipleship is a Way of Life

     (Titus 2:1-8)

     Christian life is wholistic, affecting the entire person. It 

     transforms our personality, external behavior, and even

     the culture around us. It changes not only who we are

     and how we think but also how we live!

 
2.  People of All Ages Should Willingly Accept Instruction

     (Titus 2:2-4, 6, 9)

     The definition of the word incorrigible is "the inability

     or refusal to receive instruction or be taught anything".

     

3.  Believers Have the Authority to Teach and Correct 

     Each Other

     (Titus 2:1, 4, 6, 15)

     Few would deny the centrality of teaching as an

     essential component of discipleship. The Great

     Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, The Pauline

     version in 2 Timothy 2:2, and this week's encour-

     agements in Titus prove this beyond question.
