Listen "165 - Titus: Healthy Churches and Healthy Christians"

Episode Synopsis

The book of Titus functions as a health report for pastors, Christians, and churches. Paul wrote this pastoral epistle to show Titus how to bring the churches in Crete from sickness to health. He showed him the kind of pastors that healthy churches have and the way that healthy churches live. The word sound is used for times in the letter and literally speaks of health and vitality.

This book is all about sound doctrine. We see sound doctrine in the pulpit in 1:5-16 and sound doctrine in the congregation in 2:1-3:11. By examining this letter, we can better know what it looks like to be healthy Christians who are a part of healthy churches.
