- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of Titus is another book written by Paul.
- 00:19
- One of the pastoral epistles, this along with 1st and 2nd Timothy, are known for being the pastoral epistles because they are written to Timothy and Titus, both of which are pastors.
- 00:33
- Now, Timothy, we already looked at, that he was left behind in Ephesus to shepherd the church there for Paul as he continued to travel on.
- 00:42
- He went to Crete and that's where he left Titus. Now in his first imprisonment, he had written both
- 00:48
- Timothy and also Titus to give them instructions on the functioning within the body of Christ.
- 00:56
- So this book becomes very helpful for the church because it is going to be another source of explaining how the church should function.
- 01:06
- Timothy had some things that we'll see in Titus, such as the qualifications of pastors.
- 01:14
- We're going to talk about that. There's going to be discussion of false teachers. Again, true doctrine is going to be important throughout this.
- 01:24
- Paul is also going to encourage Titus when it comes to the functioning of different groups.
- 01:29
- Older men, older women, younger women, younger men. He's going to talk about promoting godly behavior in the church, and basically going to say that we should be living in such a way and teaching in such a way that we shut the mouths of the ignorant.
- 01:46
- There's a lot of instructional things that we could see in the book of Titus that's helpful for the church.
