Episode Synopsis

A Church That Stands Out for the Right Reasons In this message, Filmore unpacks what it means to be a healthy, countercultural church in a world marked by division, noise, and spiritual forgetfulness. Drawing from Titus 1–3, he explores how Christian maturity is formed through a different posture, a different perspective, and a different power—all rooted in the gospel. Learn why Paul tells Titus to "remind the people" again and again, how believers are called to respond to government and culture, and why remembering who we were before Jesus is essential for spiritual growth, Christlike character, and a church that stands out for the right reasons. This sermon will help you: • Understand what makes a healthy church • Develop a Christlike posture toward authority and culture • Avoid slander, division, and quarrelsomeness • See yourself through the lens of grace, not self-righteousness • Rely on the transforming power of the Holy Spirit • Live out a faith that reflects Jesus in everyday life Scripture References: Titus 1–3 Acts 14:19–23 Titus 3:1–11 Romans 13:1 Matthew 5:9 Join Us This Week Plan a Visit (Seattle, WA) → https://www.onechurchnw.co/visit Next Steps → https://www.onechurchnw.co/pathway Give → https://www.onechurchnw.co/give Follow Along Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/onechurchnw TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@onechurchnw
