One of the many definitions of teaching is said to be ideas or principles taught by an authority.
Henry Brooks Adams, an American historian once remarked: "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." Titus 2:7-8 reminds us: “Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that ...read more

We need to pray as Jesus instructed us.
TEACH US TO PRAY Text: Matt. 6:9-13 Introduction 1. Illustration: In his classic book With Christ In The School Of Prayer, author Andrew Murray says, “Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray.” 2. We have designated 2020 as a year of rest and reflection. During that time, ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13
Denomination: Methodist
The New Testament takes teaching so seriously that it demands only the most qualified be allowed to do it. The modern church takes teaching so lightly that it will allow anybody who is willing to do it.
Roger Williams was the founder of the First Baptist Church in America in 1639. He was considered a trouble maker and a nuisance by most church leaders, and they wanted to get rid of him. They finally were able to banish him. Williams told this story to illustrate his experience. There was a ...read more
Scripture: James 3:1
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
Scripture: Titus 3:4-7
Denomination: Baptist
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
Scripture: Titus 3:3
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
Scripture: Titus 3:1-2
Good preaching and teaching INSTRUCTS, but also it MOTIVATES.
In the previous sermon, Titus 2:1-10, Paul gave Titus some good INSTRUCTIONS to give to all age levels, from the elderly to the young. In this passage of scripture, he now gives them the MOTIVATION for why they should do these things. He does this by sharing the message of grace with them. He ...read more
Scripture: Titus 2:11-15
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
Scripture: Titus 2:1-10
I would like to remind you again that Timothy and Titus were two young ministers that Paul personally led to the Lord and trained for the ministry.
One of the needs of the church today, is for young ministers to recognize the need to work with a seasoned pastor and learn as much from him as they can. Illus: Just because a young person graduates from college and has a college diploma in his hands, the business world does not hire them as a ...read more
Scripture: Titus 1:5-16
Paul writes to Titus who is on the Island of Crete. Paul and Titus had both been on this island preaching the gospel together.
However, the book of Acts never mentions that Paul and Titus were on the Island of Crete together. This is because the book of Acts does not give a complete list of everywhere Paul went on his missionary journeys. Paul left the island of Crete, and now he is writing back to Titus to give him ...read more
Scripture: Titus 1:1-4
Ezekiel was a dynamic and dramatic guy. Even though he was a great prophet/teacher/preacher, his words landed on deaf ears. I’ve been teaching Sunday school for over 30 years and there are times when I wonder if I’m even getting through to anyone.
Happy “Dramatic” Weekend, Everyone! There is so much drama today. Whether it is political or in Hollywood, or in the music world, or even in our own communities. Be it drugs or suicide or violence or anything else today. Goodness, some families have enough drama going on to keep the nosey gossips ...read more
Scripture: Ezekiel 3:1-11
Introduction to the series based on the Lord's Prayer
1 Teach us to Pray Week 1 Luke 11:2-4, Matthew 6: 9-13 We’re starting a series for the summer called, "Lord, teach us to pray," based on the model prayer of Jesus found in Matthew 6 and the shorter version of that, which is in Luke 11. And over the next couple of months, we’ll take a look at some ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:2-4
Denomination: Christian Church
Following a time of prayer, one of Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. Luke records an abbreviated version of the Lord's prayer and then includes elements that encourage us to be bold in our prayer, promising provision and presence from God.
Over the last couple of sections of Luke’s gospel, we’ve considered the importance of loving God with all that we are and loving others. We’ve also reflected on the value of sitting before Jesus in order to just be with Him and learn before we get in to the practice of serving. It seems like in ...read more
Scripture: Luke 11:1-13
The sermon encourages embracing God’s timing, resting from roles when needed, prioritizing presence and relationships, and trusting prayer to shape our lives and seasons.
There’s a rhythm stitched into the world by the hand of God. The tide rolls in and slips out. Winter gives way to spring. Babies cry, grandparents smile, and somewhere in between we learn how to hold on and how to let go. Seasons change. And if we’re honest, our souls feel it—the gentle tug that ...read more
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1
Topics: Sacred Tension, Seasons
The Christian faith, once rooted in Scripture and tradition, is facing a crisis in modern churches
As I stepped into the church, I couldn't help but feel like I was entering a clubhouse rather than a sacred space. The atmosphere was lively, but it lacked the reverence and awe that comes with being in God's presence. This experience got me thinking – have we lost sight of the true purpose ...read more
