Seize The Teaching Moment Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Apr 26, 2022

Few things in our ministries are more important than the responsibility of mentoring. In 1 Timothy, the apostle Paul reminds the young pastor of the divine opportunity he has to unpack the richness of God's Word in his church--don't let that fire die!

Teachings Of Titus #7

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

We all understand why Paul wrote to Titus and dealt with relationships in the church.

This has always been a problem in the church. But when we get to the third chapter of Titus, Paul starts to talk to him about salvation, and this becomes a little confusing. WHY DID PAUL TALK TO TITUS ABOUT SALVATION? Why? Paul wanted to make sure that Titus preached sound doctrine concerning ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Pastors enjoy preaching about what it is like living our lives with God.

The Bible is filled with sermon material that we can draw from as we preach on this wonderful Christian life that God has blessed us with. But also the Bible gives us some passages that tell us what our life was like before we accepted the Lord Jesus as our personal Savior. Such is the case in ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

We Christians recognize that we can do very little about the leadership in our government. If we could, we would have done something a long time ago.

Someone once said in humor, “We have the best politicians that money can buy!” But what is sad about this humor, is that many times when it comes to our public officials it is the truth. Sometimes I wish we could do to our politicians what a company did to a farmer. Illus: An elderly farmer ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

In the previous sermon in this series, in Titus 1:10-16, Paul dealt with the false teachers, and told Titus that their mouths must be stopped.

Why? Because he said the words they were preaching were damnable words that were “Subverting whole households” to go astray. One of the sad things about those who fall into false religions is that they aggressively do everything they can to convert their complete families. This is typical of the ...read more
