Titus was a trusted companion and fellow worker of Paul who helped establish and organize the church in Crete. As an uncircumcised Gentile, Titus accompanied Paul to Jerusalem and was accepted, showing Paul's inclusive message. Titus exhibited a steadfast and reliable character as he carried messages between Paul and churches. Paul held Titus in high regard and left him in Crete to appoint elders and put the remaining matters in order, demonstrating Titus' maturity and leadership abilities.
Titus Flavius Vespasianus was Roman Emperor from 79 to 81 AD. He came from a modest family background but received a palace education. As a military leader, he helped his father Vespasian besiege and destroy Jerusalem in 70 AD. As Emperor, he completed construction of the Colosseum and built public baths. Despite natural disasters during his reign, Titus responded generously and was well loved for his charisma and generosity.
The document provides background information on Paul's letter to Titus. It discusses that after Paul's first imprisonment around 62 AD, he made an evangelistic trip to Crete where he left Titus to establish order. Paul wrote this letter to Titus from Macedonia to provide guidance. The key themes of Titus discussed are appointing qualified leaders, cultivating godly people, and teaching the gospel truth. The first chapter focuses on the calling of Christians into God's service and their mission and task as God's community.
The document provides guidance from Paul in Titus on how Christians should conduct themselves and teach others based on sound doctrine. Paul instructs Titus to teach older men, older women, younger women, young men, and slaves how to live according to biblical principles. For all groups, this involves self-control, purity, obedience, integrity and acting honorably. The ultimate purpose is to spread the gospel message and glorify God so that unbelievers will be drawn to faith in Jesus. In conclusion, Christians must do good works consistently as a testimony to the gospel message of salvation.
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.
This document summarizes a sermon about Titus 1:1-4. It discusses three characteristics of a mature Christian that God can use greatly: their personal calling, corporate mission, and joint task. For personal calling, it explains that each Christian has a name, Master, and design/gifting from God. The corporate mission is to further God's elect's faith and knowledge through the hope of eternal life and God's proclamation. The joint task is that God's community cannot succeed alone but through investing in and involving others. The key message is that Christians excel when they consecrate their lives to serving the Lord according to their calling within God's community.

The document discusses God's relationship with Israel and argues that God did not reject his people of Israel. It states that some of the branches of Israel were broken off due to unbelief, while gentiles were grafted onto the olive tree by faith. However, if the gentiles do not remain in faith, they too will be cut off, while the natural branches of Israel could be grafted back in if they turn to faith. Ultimately, the passage says that all of Israel will be saved once the full number of gentiles has come to faith.
The document calls Christians to offer their bodies as living sacrifices to God through holy and pleasing worship not conformed to patterns of the world. It urges believers to humbly use their diverse spiritual gifts out of sincere love for one another, blessing persecutors and living at peace with all. Christians are instructed to not repay evil with evil but overcome evil with good.
Christians are called to submit to governing authorities as they are established by God. Believers should pay taxes, customs, and respect to whom they are due. Fulfilling the law through love of neighbor sums up the entire law under the commandment to love others.
Accept other Christians who are weaker or stronger in faith. Do not argue over disputable matters or pass judgment on one another. Make up your own mind about what is right or wrong before God.
This document summarizes Paul's plans to visit Rome and his message of unity between Jews and Gentiles in Christ. It discusses how Paul urges the strong to bear with the weak, for all to accept one another as Christ accepted insults for others. Paul reminds the Romans of God's grace making him a minister to spread the gospel to Gentiles. He plans to visit Rome on his way to Spain after delivering an offering from Gentile churches to believers in Jerusalem. He asks the Romans to pray for his safety and the offering's acceptance.
Paul sends greetings to many individuals and groups in Rome. He commends Phoebe to them, a deacon of the church, and asks them to help her. He also greets Priscilla and Aquila, co-workers who risked their lives for him. Paul warns the Romans to watch out for those who cause divisions and go against the teachings. He hopes the God of peace will soon crush Satan under their feet.
1. Paul left Titus in Crete to appoint elders in every town and put in order what was left unfinished.
2. An elder must be blameless, faithful to their spouse, have faithful children, and have a good reputation. They must not be arrogant, quick-tempered, violent, or pursue dishonest gain.
3. There are many in Crete who must be rebuked for teaching things they should not and disrupting households for dishonest gain. Their minds and consciences are corrupted.
