  1. Titus 2: Teach Sound Doctrine. Be clear.  Christ is life for the broken world.

    Sermons

    Teach Sound Doctrine (ESV)

    1But as for you, teach what accords with sounda doctrine. 2Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. 6Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. 7Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. 9Bondservantsb are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, 10not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

    We want to point to the exalted Christ.  He is highly exalted.  Because the Gospel is precious.  The message we bare is that important.  We proclaim Christ and he’s the one who saves people.  Jesus Christ is precious.  The grass fades and the flower withers but the Word of our God stands forever.  Be clear.  Christ is life for the broken world.

  2. Christian Leadership: Instruct with Sound Doctrine, Rebuke False Teachers

    Sermons

    Titus 1:10-16

    10 For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision, 11 whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said,

    Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle [i]gluttons.

    13 This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be [j]sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. 15 To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

    The Steadfast Love of the Lord

    The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,

    His mercies never come to an end;
    they are new every morning, new every morning:

    great is your faithfulness, O Lord

    great is your faithfulness!

    Praise Before My Breakthrough

    I know the tension of the now, I don’t always understand
    I don’t always get to see, Everything

    When I’m holding up my hands, When I’m counting every breath
    Lord, all I need to know is, You choose me, You choose me

    I’ll praise before my breakthrough, ‘Til my song becomes my triumph
    I will sing because I trust You, I will bring my heart, I will lift my song

    When I’m listening for Your voice, And I’m shutting out the noise
    I know that You will speak, Clearly

    When I’m living out my faith, When I’m stepping on the sea
    I know You take my hand, And walk with me, Walk with me

    He who came in power, He will come again,

    He who heals the sick, won’t He move again
    He who raised the dead, won’t He raise again, And I will sing, I will sing

    And I will sing because I trust You, And I’ll worship because I trust
    I sing because I love You, And I’ll bring my heart, I will lift my song

    I Will Exalt You, Lord

    Your Presence is all I need, It’s all I want, all I seek
    Without it, without it there’s no meaning

    Your Presence is the air I breathe, The song I sing, the love I need
    Without it, without it I’m not living

    I will exalt You, Lord, I will exalt You, Lord, There is no one like You God
    I will exalt You, Lord, I will exalt You, Lord, No other name be lifted high

    There will be no one like You, And no one beside You,                                        You alone are worthy of all praise

    Break Every Chain

    There is power in the name of Jesus (3X)
    To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

    There’s an army rising up (3X)
    To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

    There is power in the name of Jesus (3X)
    To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

    There’s an army rising up (3X)
    To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain (2X)

    I hear the chains falling, I hear the chains falling

    Had It Not Been The Lord

    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side, Had it not been the Lord who is on our side
    The anger of the enemy would have swallowed us alive

    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side

    Blessed be The lord who would not give us up

    Blessed be The Lord for His unfailing Love
    The snare is broken and we have escaped,

    Our help is in The name of The Lord, Blessed be The Lord

    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side, Had it not been the Lord who is on our side
    The water would have engulfed us, We would have surely died
    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side
