In this episode, we conclude our journey through the book of Titus with a powerful reminder: salvation isn't just about being saved from something—it's about being saved for something. Titus 3 calls every believer to live a life that reflects the miracle of regeneration.We explore two major themes:Our New Birth Must Lead to a New Life – Paul highlights that good works are not the root of salvation but the fruit of it. We’ve been washed, renewed, and filled with the Spirit so that we might walk in obedience, humility, and purpose. From the mess of our past to the mercy of God, we’re reminded that the Christian life is marked by transformation, not stagnation.Discipleship and Discipline Go Hand in Hand – Healthy churches aren’t afraid to confront sin. Paul instructs Titus to avoid foolish controversies and deal directly with divisive people. Church discipline, done in love and truth, protects the body and promotes growth. At the same time, ministry continues with generosity and partnership—every believer is called to engage in good works and support the mission.Key Takeaways:Regeneration is God’s work, producing a radically new life.Good works are essential for gospel witness, not for earning salvation.Church discipline is necessary for maintaining purity and unity.Grace empowers us to live holy, faithful, and fruitful lives.This final chapter reminds us that doctrine must shape our discipleship, and that grace must fuel our good works. Regeneration is not just theology—it’s the beginning of a transformed, Christ-exalting life.

Discipleship That Reflects Sound Doctrine (Titus 2)In this episode, we explore Titus 2, where Paul outlines a vision for discipleship that reflects the beauty of sound doctrine. God’s grace not only saves us—it shapes us. From older men and women to the younger generation and even into the workplace, this chapter shows how every stage of life is an opportunity to adorn the gospel through godliness. Whether you’re teaching, mentoring, working, or waiting for Christ’s return, you are called to reflect the transforming power of grace.We walk through three key sections:God’s Design for Discipleship – Discipleship is gendered, generational, and gospel-shaped.Discipleship on Display in the Workplace – Godliness is evident even under pressure or injustice.Living in Light of God’s Grace – Grace not only saves but sanctifies and prepares us for the return of Christ.This episode challenges each listener to ask: Am I reflecting the gospel in the way I live, serve, and disciple others?Discipleship varies by stage of life and gender, but it’s always shaped by sound doctrine.Older Men & Women – Called to live reverent, self-controlled, and faith-filled lives that model maturity.Younger Women & Men – Encouraged to love their families, be pure and self-controlled, and live in a way that upholds the gospel’s reputation.The goal: live in a way that silences critics and points others to Christ.Godly character should shine at work through submission, respect, honesty, and integrity.Our conduct at work should adorn the doctrine of our Savior—making the gospel attractive by our actions.God’s grace has appeared to all people—saving and sanctifying us.Grace teaches us to say “no” to ungodliness and to wait in hope for Christ’s return.Jesus redeemed us to be a people zealous for good works.This grace must be proclaimed boldly—with truth, love, and authority.How does your life reflect the gospel to those around you?Are you investing in others through discipleship?Is your daily living shaped by grace and pointing others to the Savior?“...so that in everything they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior.” – Titus 2:10b
