Show Grace To Mean, Evil People (Titus 3:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 10, 2022

Titus 3:4-5 are rightly celebrated, but in a way that usually misses Paul's point. Show grace to mean people, recognizing that those people are like you used to be, before God washed you and gave you his Spirit.

Last week, in Paul's letter to Titus, chapter 2, we read how Paul told Titus to set up the church, and the families within the church, to look like the ideal first century Roman household. Especially when you're a fringe religious group, but probably always, it's important to live in a ...read more

The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more
