Sermons on Titos 1:16:

False Conversion And Its Rotten Harvest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2021

The Lord Jesus warns that not everyone who calls Him, "LORD" is truly His servant. Works done in His name do not necessarily demonstrate a genuine love for Him. This is a terrifying illustration of false conversion, and what to do about it before it is too late.

Some things never change, especially towards the conclusion of the average worship service of the churches in which I have either been a member or have attended over the years. Many times the Sprit of God moves mightily in the hearts of members and visitors after the pastor has presented a ...read more

How Are You Living Your Christian Life?

Contributed by Pastor Amos Dele Dada on Jun 11, 2020

Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.

“Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16 Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing ...read more

"Certain Persons” – The Creepers Who Slipped In, Quietly In Slippers – Jude 1 Verse 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 10, 2022

Even in Jude's time false teachers had crept into the church and Jude does not hold back. In this message we look into "creeping" and examine these false teachers, ungodly men, the wolves among the lambs. There is much warning for us too 1950 years later.

Being Steadfast In Your Faith Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Sep 21, 2022

Many things distract us from living up to our identity in Christ--especially guilt and fleshly temptation. Paul continues the narrative of reconciliation: the rescuing of the broken and repairing and repurposing it for His work.

Colossians 1:21-23 21And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

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

The Church Of Sardis: A Fellowship Taken Off Life Support (Revelation 3:1-6)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 1, 2024

The church at Sardis received not words of commendation from the Lord Jesus Christ, but instead, rebuke and condemnation as well a warning to wake up and strengthen what remains of its effectiveness, testimony, and purpose. Does this describe the church you attend?

The fifth church mentioned in Revelation 2-3 was located in the city of Sardis, fifty miles east of Smyrna and thirty miles southeast of Thyatira. Like the other churches, it was located in western Asia Minor, now known as the nation of Turkey. Sardis was on the major commercial and trade ...read more

Are You A Reprobate?

We all probably have at least one reprobate on our prayer list. How can we recognize a reprobate when we see one?

Titus 1:15-16 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupt. ...read more

Those Who Must Be Silenced Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 14, 2021

In Titus 1:10–16, Paul first gives a general 1) description of false teachers in the church who are to be silenced (Titus 1:10–13a). He then specifies 2) What the reaction to those should be (Titus 1:13b–14) and 3) Evaluates their lives (Titus 1:15–16).

Titus 1:10–16. 10 For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. 11 They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 One of the Cretans, a prophet of ...read more

Serving With Integrity And Passion Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 12, 2021

God placed it upon Paul's heart that the church in Crete needed to grow up to maturity. Titus had demonstrated that he was ready for the responsibility of organizing the churches in Crete; he would lead the people to avoid the Cretan worldview and the legalism of the Jews.

“Come, follow me.” The words resound with authority that could emanate only from the heart of God. My heart is tenderly touched each time I view a video clip that depicts the early disciple walking away from their known life to live according to a calling God places upon their lives. As the ...read more

Go! And Remember God Is Real - Titus 1:16 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 30, 2025

There is a sobering reality we must confront: many Christians profess faith in God with their lips but deny Him with their lives. This isn’t a problem exclusive to modern times—it has been a spiritual tension since the early church.

Go! And Remember God Is Real - Titus 1:16 Why Do Christians Often Live As If God Does Not Exist? Titus 1:16 (NLT): "Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good." Introduction: My ...read more
