In this sermon podcast on Titus 1:5, Pastor Brent establishes three “pastoral directives” as delivered by Paul to Titus that enable the local church to develop godly leadership. After visiting the churches on the island of Crete, Paul left behind his ministry partner Titus to further develop these young churches. Paul assigned Titus the task of establishing sound doctrine and godly living in the churches so that they would then possess credible Christian testimonies. If this mission was to be accomplished Titus had much work to do. In fact Paul tells Titus that he must correct what was lacking, namely, godly leadership. Titus, himself, was to instruct the churches in sound doctrine, model behavior that was in accordance with that doctrine and appoint godly men who could do the same. The need of the church on Crete was godly men. The need of the local church today is godly men. In this message, Pastor Brent begins a short mini-series on the need for godly men to lead the local church by establishing three “pastoral perspectives” given to Titus by Paul.

It then provides pictures and summaries of their outreach and preaching activities at various churches and conferences in South Africa. It requests prayers for protection of their home base, Shepherd's Flock Ministries, which has come under attack. It concludes by thanking supporters and requesting continued prayers as their international travel ministry continues.
03 1 thessalonians 2v1 12 marks of a great ministry
The third in the series from first and second Thessalonians. This lesson covers the sort of ministry Paul had among church there.
Romans 12a Living Sacrifice
The document is an invitation from Pastor David Thompson to attend worship services at the Rossville Church located at 781 Salem Road in Rossville, GA. The pastor encourages people to come as they are and that there is no need to dress up.

1 Thessalonians
1st and 2nd Thessalonians focus on Christ's second coming. Paul wrote these letters to the church in Thessalonica to encourage believers and instruct them to live holy lives as they awaited Christ's return. He reminds them that Christ's second appearance will be sudden, just as the first was to philosophers. Throughout the letters, Paul praises the church for their faith and instructs them on holy living, correcting any misunderstandings about Christ's second coming.
Overview of Ephesians
The document is an outline of the key themes and sections of the book of Ephesians. It is divided into three main parts: theological, applicational, and spiritual armor. The theological section covers who believers are in Christ. The applicational section discusses how believers should walk or live out their faith. This includes walking worthily, with unity, in love, as children of light, and with wisdom. The final section addresses the spiritual armor believers require to stand against evil forces.
Rebuilding getting started Ezra 1-3:7
This document summarizes the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the exile in Babylon. It describes how Cyrus, king of Persia, was stirred by God to issue a decree allowing the exiles to return and rebuild the temple.

The Old Testament and the Christian
The Old Testament provides many benefits to Christians today despite Christians not being bound to follow the Old Testament law. It was written for Christians' instruction and admonition as examples of how to live, and contains hundreds of prophecies about Jesus Christ. The New Testament writers frequently appealed to the Old Testament in their teachings. Christians should study the Old Testament as it makes one wise regarding salvation through faith in Christ and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and righteousness.

It provides context that I Corinthians addresses problems and questions in the church, including questions about spiritual gifts from chapters 12-14.

It notes that every believer has one spiritual gift and outlines some basics about spiritual gifts, including that each believer receives one gift at salvation to use for the church.
Chosen to serve Acts 6:1-7
The document discusses the appointment of the first deacons in Acts 6 to help address a complaint about the neglect of Hellenistic widows. It summarizes that the twelve disciples selected seven men of good reputation who were full of the Spirit and wisdom to oversee the daily distribution of food. These men were commissioned as deacons after prayer and the laying on of hands. As a result, the word of God continued to spread and the number of disciples increased greatly in Jerusalem.

Ha34 05312015 - what have you given to the lord now don't lie
The document summarizes a sermon about giving to God and fellowship in the early church. It discusses how fellowship requires giving freely as the early Christians did. Barnabas is highlighted as a great giver and encourager who sold land and supported others. Ananias and Sapphira are used as a negative example of lying about their gift. The sermon encourages giving one's all to God without holding back, as the poor widow did, and to do all things in Jesus' name for a great reward of eternal life.
Members
The document discusses the membership and growth of First Baptist Church over several years. It shows that church membership declined from 166 families in 2003 to 141 in 2010 but then increased significantly to 208 families in 2013 and 220 families in 2014. The document also provides information on why people do or do not attend church and emphasizes that everyone plays an important role as members of the body of Christ.

Morning Service - May 1, 2011
This document contains the lyrics to several contemporary Christian worship songs that were included in a church bulletin for Summit Woods Baptist Church. The songs praise and exalt God, focusing on themes like the holiness and faithfulness of God's name, the splendor and greatness of God, Christian unity, and the peace and grace that God provides.
02 February 15, 2015, Nehemiah 9, The Power of God's Word
The document summarizes a church sermon that focused on the power of God's word and its ability to lead people to repentance and revival. It notes how in the Bible, the public reading of the Book of Law of Moses to the Israelites led them to weep, repent of their sins, and renew their faith. Similarly, regular reading of scripture can expose our sins and draw us closer to God. The sermon also discusses the inspiration, authority, and interpretation of the Bible.
The Pastor’s Call
God calls pastors through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to serve as ambassadors of Christ. This divine call is personal, preceded by spiritual gifts, and focused on humble service. Though the world may reject them, pastors have a high calling from God to proclaim reconciliation through Jesus as honored representatives of heaven.

This document contains warnings against false teachings that deceive people and lead them away from God. It encourages believers to stand firm in their faith and not be swayed by philosophies or traditions that contradict Christian truth.

The Need for Godly Men, Pt 2 | Cascades Bible Church
In this sermon podcast, Pastor Brent looks at the New Testament model for elder leadership in the New Testament. In doing so, he presents three components of this model: the need, the directives and the role of New Testament elders.
In Titus 1:5 the Apostle Paul directs Titus to appoint elders in every church. Paul and Titus had discovered a glaring need in the church on the island of Crete, the need for godly leadership. The churches were spiritually sick and had been infiltrated by false teachers. Therefore, Titus was to go back into the church and set in place what was lacking, namely elders who were qualified and could lead the churches.
This directive to establish elders in every church was a directive not only given to Titus. In fact, the New Testament model for church leadership was an elder leadership structure. Beginning with the narrative of the book of Acts and also surveying the Epistles, we find an abundance of evidence that elder leadership was the clear model for the local church.
In this message, Pastor Brent provides a brief overview of what the New Testament has to say about elder leadership and its importance for the local church.
Elders & Deacons, Part 3
The document discusses the roles and qualifications of church leaders according to the New Testament. It describes elders/pastors/overseers as those who lead by living godly lives, teaching, guiding, disciplining, being hospitable, and shepherding the flock. Deacons are described as having administrative and financial responsibilities to assist elders in serving the church. Both roles require individuals of high moral character.
Gospel order 4-20 - qualifications and roles of elders
This document discusses the qualifications and roles of church elders and deacons. It outlines many qualifications that elders should possess, such as being blameless, self-controlled, hospitable, not greedy, and able to manage their household well. The roles of elders include feeding and protecting the flock as shepherds, giving faithful warnings, doing personal ministry in members' homes, looking after the weak and straying, praying for the sick, and instructing on the importance of tithes and offerings. Deacons are to assist by looking after the church's temporal and financial affairs. Elders and deacons are to be chosen from among church members who display these biblical qualifications.
A Deacon is a Servant - 1 Timothy 3:8-13
Deacons are servants necessary for the ministry of the church. They lead by serving. They oversee the physical needs of the body of Christ.
530-6, Discipleship Among the Urban Poor
The Tasks is to make disciples. The context is the church among the poor. What is a Disciple? How do you make disciples. Bryan Johnson has spent over 30 years training leaders to disciple others. This becomes integral to the Encarnacao Alliance of Slum Movement leaders and part of the MA in Transformational Urban Leadership course on Churchplanting.
Standards for Church Leaders
The document outlines biblical standards for church leaders based on passages from 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and Acts 6:1-7. It describes the standards as relating to a leader's behavior, family, experience, and testimony. A leader should be beyond reproach, self-controlled, orderly, hospitable, able to teach, not violent, and not greedy. They must manage their family well. Leaders must also be mature in faith, respected outside the church, and tested before serving.
HOFCC Distinctives (update)
This document outlines the doctrine, devotion, and mission of the Household of Faith Community Church (HOFCC). It describes HOFCC as:
1) Reformed in doctrine, embracing Calvinist theology and the "5 Solas" of the Protestant Reformation.
2) Charismatic in ministry, believing the spiritual gifts continue today and emphasizing worship in both spirit and truth.
3) Having a plurality of elders, with qualifications for elders and deacons outlined from Scripture.
4) Evangelical in mission, making the Great Commission a top priority through aggressive church planting and local/foreign missions support.
Good Works (Christian duty)
As a child of God we are to do good, but what good works does God desire. In this lesson we answer the question. Both slides and audio can be enjoyed at www.cmcoc.org.

TITUS 2 - TRANSFORMED BY GODS STANDARDS - PS LUCY BANAL - 630 PM EVENING SERVICE
TITUS 2 - TRANSFORMED BY GODS STANDARDS - PS LUCY BANAL - 630 PM EVENING SERVICEFaithworks Christian Church
The document discusses Paul's instructions to Titus for appointing elders in Crete to organize the church and mandate godly standards. It summarizes Titus' two purposes as straightening out the churches and appointing elders in every city. It then outlines the godly qualities elders must possess, including being above reproach, faithful to their wife and family, not arrogant or quick-tempered, and holding fast to sound doctrine. The document emphasizes the importance of Christian character and living according to biblical standards.The office of a deacon
This document discusses the role and qualifications of deacons in the church. It defines deacons as servants who minister to others. The Bible describes the first deacons as meeting practical needs in the early church. To become a deacon, one must demonstrate qualifications of character, including being grave, blameless, and not greedy. Deacons must also have proven Christian experience and be able to manage their household and children well. The document encourages self-reflection on whether one's life already meets these qualifications before taking on the role of deacon.
Chaplain certifcation 3
This document discusses the role and qualities of a chaplain. It states that a chaplain is called by God to serve others in non-church settings, showing respect for all religious beliefs while maintaining their own Christian faith. An effective chaplain is described as someone who knows themselves, accepts others, lives exemplary through faith in action, and develops strong listening skills to understand others. Key qualities include being a born-again Christian, trustworthy, able to minister to all people, and trained to serve through their faith.
Church planting 4
A simple introductory course on Church Planting. The majority of the course notes presented here are based upon J. D. Payne's Planting Apostolic Churches
LEADERS CALLED BY GOD TO LEAD THE CHURCH
God calls certain men and women to serve as elders in the church. This calling has several characteristics: it is a calling from God, not from people; it is personal to the individual; and it is for the purpose of preparing the church and enabling it to fulfill its mission. Elders must recognize that they were called by God's grace, not because of their own merits, and that God will qualify them for their role if they remain submissive to Him. The calling is conditional, and elders risk having their calling revoked if they fail to fulfill their duties properly.
Good deeds romans 2 7
This document discusses the biblical concept of "good deeds". It provides several definitions and uses of "good deeds" from various passages in the New Testament. The key points made are:
1) Good deeds cannot be done until one is born again by the Holy Spirit, as only those indwelt by the Spirit can perform truly good and holy works.
2) Good deeds do not save us, but prove that we are saved by showing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
3) Good deeds are supernatural works prepared and empowered by God through His Spirit, not natural human works. They glorify God and are designed to prove our salvation.
Principes of Personal Christian Witness.ppt
This document provides guidance on training lay members for personal witnessing. It discusses why witnessing is important and necessary, and outlines principles from Jesus' method of witnessing. Some key points discussed are:
- Jesus mingled with people, showed sympathy, met their needs, and earned their trust before inviting them to follow Him.
- Lay involvement is needed for church growth, as the apostles and early church grew rapidly through everyone sharing their faith.
- Motivations for members to get involved include the biblical command to witness, spiritual growth, and preparation for Christ's return.
- Community service and acts of compassion open doors for spiritual conversations.
1 Peter 5a
1) The elders of the church are exhorted to faithfully feed and care for the flock as shepherds, protecting them from harm.
2) They should lead and serve willingly, not due to obligation or for personal gain, but with a ready and eager heart to serve God.
3) Elders should lead by example rather than lord over others, and care for God's people entrusted to their care.
What is a successful church complete series
This document discusses what defines a successful church according to scripture. It examines churches mentioned in Revelation chapters 2-3. The church of Ephesus is praised for its works, patience, and rejection of evil but rebuked for abandoning its first love. The church of Pergamos is commended for clinging to Christ's name and not denying their faith despite living in Satan's throne, but is criticized for tolerating those with the doctrine of Balaam and Nicolaitans. The church of Thyatira receives praise for growing in love but is condemned for tolerating the false prophetess Jezebel.
Follow their lead roles and qualities of church leaders
This document discusses how churches should be led according to the Bible. It states that elders are the leaders of the church, as shown in several passages, and lists qualifications for elders from 1 Timothy and Titus, such as being above reproach, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, and able to teach sound doctrine. Deacons are described as servants who must also meet qualifications like dignity and faithfulness. Preachers are described as teachers who are to preach the word of God boldly as shown in 2 Timothy 4:1-5. The roles of elders, deacons, and preachers in the church are explained based on biblical passages.
Hillside Men - 1 Timothy 3:8-13
In this session, we find that we are to be servants, as Jesus is a servant, and as deacons are to lead the Church in serving.
Prayer Life of an Effective Christian Worker
Communication with God is of importance in service to God. Hence, the role prayer plays. Many believers take this for granted and ended up doing eye service that will only attract human applause and not God's commendation.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

The Need for Godly Men Pt 1 | Cascades Bible Church
- 1. The Need for Godly Men, Pt. 1 Titus 1:5
- 2. What was lacking in the churches on the island of Crete was: godly leadership. “For this reason, I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you.” Titus 1:5
- 3. Paul’s Purpose: Faith + Practice = Witness Sound Godly Credible Doctrine Living Testimony Fruit of Good Deeds
- 4. “If the local church is going to live out its goals and purposes as set forth by God through the apostle Paul, then it must have godly leadership in place!”
- 6. Setting the context: v.5 -Speaking directly to Titus; indirectly to the church. -Titus is left behind; but only temporarily; c.f. 3:12 -Letter gives Titus full authority. -”Set in order what remains” – key verb here Translated as set in order or put in order; More simply means to “correct”
- 7. First Pastoral Directive: Teach sound doctrine. Key verses - 1:13, 2:1, 2:15, 3:1 Second Pastoral Directive: Model sound doctrine. Key verses – 1:10-16, 2:7-8 Third Pastoral Directive: Appoint godly men. Key verse – 1:5; 6-9
- 8. Pastoral Directives: Sound Teach Sound Doctrine Doctrine Model Sound Doctrine + Appoint Godly Men Godly Living = Credible Testimony
- 9. Conclusion • The church needs godly men. • Men must answer the call to pursue godliness. • Men in church should aspire to be elder- qualified even if never called. • Men must come forward to live godly lives to preserve and display the gospel.
