Titus: Healthy Church Life
Sound Doctrine and Good Works
A 4-week study through Titus exploring what healthy churches prioritize: qualified leadership, sound doctrine, good works, and gospel-driven living in daily relationships.
Leadership Qualifications
What healthy church leadership looks likeTitus 1:1-16Main PointHealthy churches need qualified leaders — not perfect people, but people of integrity, sound doctrine, and character. False teachers create division; qualified leaders maintain doctrinal purity and live exemplary lives.
Right Living According to the Gospel
Gospel-driven behavior transformationTitus 2:1-3:11Main PointSalvation through grace trains us to live godly lives. The gospel is not just about going to heaven; it's about transformation now — in how we treat our families, our work, and our relationships.
Masters and Servants
Gospel dignity in everyday rolesTitus 2:9-10, 3:1-7Main PointEven slaves and servants can display the beauty of the gospel through trustworthiness, respect, and diligence. Our roles and positions don't determine our spiritual value; our relationship with Christ does.
Separating from Unproductive Arguments
Focusing on what matters mostTitus 3:8-15Main PointTitus is to emphasize sound doctrine and good deeds, while avoiding foolish controversies and genealogies. Healthy churches focus their energy on the gospel and good works, not on endless arguments.
