Titus
Paul's letter to Titus paints a picture of grace working from the inside out. It starts with leaders shaped by character, not credentials, then widens to show how older and younger believers, husbands and wives, workers and citizens all live differently when grace saturates their motives. The gospel doesn't just rescue us. It teaches us to say no to sin, yes to self-control, and transforms how we treat everyone around us. KJ walks through these three chapters, showing that real obedience flows from hearts captivated by what Jesus has done. Along the way, he challenges us to avoid petty quarrels and small-minded thinking, remembering that God's love for us never changes based on our performance. This is grace that frees us for obedience, not from it.
God's blueprint for church leadership looks radically different from what the world expects: character formed by grace, not credentials alone.
Grace transforms everything. When God's radical grace grips a community, it produces self-controlled men, reverent women, loving families, and faithful workers who make the gospel irresistibly attractive.
God's grace doesn't just save; it transforms. When the gospel sinks deep into our hearts, it becomes the power that changes our motivations and frees us from fear and pride.
God's grace doesn't free us from obedience but frees us for obedience. Transformed hearts delight in living the life God desires.
Petty arguments and prideful debates drain spiritual energy and distract from what truly matters. God's unconditional love frees us to see ourselves and others through grace-tinted glasses.
