Pastor Blaine Boyd kicks off a new expositional series through Titus by addressing how God uses His Word to build a godly Church. Titus 1:1-4 - Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior; To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. Sermon Notes: Main Idea: The Word of God Builds a Godly Church I. God’s Appointed Authority Is an Apostle II. God’s Appointed Tool Is the Word III. God’s Appointed End Is a Godly Church Application Questions: 1. What are the tools the church was left with by the apostles for the building up of the church? How well are you trained with this tool and able to use it? 2. What does it mean that our zeal for evangelism must be matched with our zeal for discipleship? How do we work this out? 3. What does it look like for every ministry of our church and our life to be grounded and rooted in the word of God?
