Equipped To Serve Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 31, 2019

Titus is one of three epistles of Paul referred to as pastoral epistles. While these were written to young pastors that Paul desired to equip for ministry, there is much wisdom that is applicable for every believer. Paul begins this epistle with an effort to encourage and equip Titus for ministry.

Equipped to Serve Titus 1: 1-4 Our text today comes from one of the Pastoral Epistles. Titus was a young preacher and faithful helper of Paul. We know from Verse 5 that Paul had left Titus on the Island of Crete to settle the churches there and set in order their worship and operation. This was a ...read more

"God Of Your Fill In The Blanks____ (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh)”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Aug 13, 2018

God did not answer Moses’ question of “who am I?” Instead He answered Him with His “I Am that I Am” What does God mean by that? God wanted to tell Moses, just present yourself. He would start to fill those blanks! How ‘bout you?

INTRODUCTION: What’s in a name? In the Bible, a person’s name often signifies his character or ability or mission — especially when the name is given by God.
