Episode notes
Gospel Must Shape Belief And Behavior
- Paul wrote Titus to address moral and doctrinal confusion in Cretan churches and to instruct faithful oversight.
- Sound doctrine must produce visible character and good works as evidence of true faith.
Pastor As Teacher, Not Entertainer
- Pastors are primarily pastor-teachers who must teach what accords with sound doctrine rather than entertain.
- Teaching should raise up faithful men who then teach others and produce works of ministry.
Countercultural Christian Living
- Crete's immoral culture required Christians to live by a different manual and power: Christ.
- True conversion results in changed behavior ordered by the gospel, not cultural norms.
When Paul wrote to Titus, the church was marked by moral and doctrinal confusion—issues we’re also familiar with today. On Truth For Life Weekend, Alistair Begg explains why it’s important to faithfully proclaim God’s Word and practice what you preach.
