Politically Incorrect, pt. 1
Imagine a stranger walking into your church and announcing that he is going to make wholesale changes. He then proceeds to anoint new pastors and deacons, while delivering instructions on worship and teaching. Crazy, right? Well that is exactly what Paul is commanding Titus to do in Titus 1:5! As we'll learn from this passage, obedience to God might ruffle a few feathers.
Practicing the Truth of Easter
The Apostle Paul once said that the resurrection is the most important part of the Gospel. Do you know why he said that? In this message Stephen discusses why the Resurrection lies at the heart of Christian doctrine and practice.
Pinning Our Hope on Easter
On Sunday you probably sang hymns about the Resurrection, and heard a message about the resurrection, and celebrated the Resurrection with other believers. But let me ask you . . . how is the Resurrection affecting you today? How will it change the way you think and act over the next 24 hours? In this message Stephen challenges us to take what we heard in Church on Sunday and make it the focal point of our lives Monday through Saturday.
Eyes to See
How do you know that the little part you see of life and what you believe about the afterlife is really the full picture? Are you certain what you believe is true? Bring your doubts to the Scriptures and discover anew why the Gospel is reliable . . . and glorious!
Death . . . Defeated!
Some things never get old, do they? Talking about the resurrection is one of them! It is the focal point of the Gospel. Without it there is can be salvation from our sins and no hope of eternal life. It isn't the greatest miracle God has ever performed . . . but it might just be the most important.
Death . . . Denied!
The resurrection is a fact that unbelievers can't live with and believers can't live without. So what is the proof of the resurrection? What are the bodies of evidence? Luke gives us many.

All or Nothing, Part 2
It's been said that we form an impression of people within seconds of talking with them. If that's true, then our impression of the Apostle Paul after reading a few verses in Titus is that he is passionate about the Gospel. His message isn't formulaic, though it appears in all his letters. It doesn't get redundant with every letter he writes. Instead, it further reveals that when Paul gave his life to Christ . . . he gave it all. Have you done the same?

Passion
If there's one thing the Apostle Paul could never be accused of, it was lacking passion. In fact, you won't find a more passionate Christian in the New Testament other than Christ Himself! Why is that? Well Paul tells us himself in Titus 1:3. So let's open our bibles to that passage and discover the answer together.
