Study Book: Do What You Have Heard (1st & 2nd Timothy & Titus)
Scripture: Titus 1 - 3
Class Content:
On Wednesday 24 April, we by God’s grace were able to continue our study of the book of Titus covering Titus 1 through Titus 3.
We read Titus 1:1-3, Titus 1:6-9, Titus 2:1-15, and Titus 3:1-15 and discussed the resources that Titus had to accomplish all the work Paul left him to accomplish in Crete – (1) Paul’s letter, (2) Other believers including elders and others, especially older believers, (3) God’s grace giving Titus hope and confidence, and (4) Titus’ faith in God and how God had equipped him with the ability to train others (Titus’ faith journey was ordained by God). We discussed as a group what our coping mechanisms are when we feel we are over our heads – calling on the Lord through prayer, meditating on His work, and using fellow believers to help us. Finally, we identified the different groups Titus had to lead and what actions he was to take with each group – elders, older men and women, younger men and women, etc.. by silencing false teachers, appointing elders of specific godlike character traits, teaching older men and women both doctrine and behavior, encouraging and setting an example and teaching slaves. He was to teach, encourage, rebuke with all authority and let no one despise him while reminding people to be subject to rulers and ready to do good stressing the truths of the gospel. This lead to a discussion of how important it is for us to similarly teach our younger adults, youth, and children of our church family.
Next Class: Our class will continue with Titus 1-3 and Chapter 11 (Eight Months to Change a Church) in our study guide page 50 starting with question 7.
