This morning I was blessed to have the opportunity to share the message at Countryside Chapel. The people of the church have grown near and dear to my heart and I am excited to get to know everyone more and walk with them as I move into a role as one of the pastors. Here are some notes from this morning's sermon from Titus chapter 3:
1. We All Need A Reminder
- We are a forgetful people, we constantly need to be reminded of Biblical truth and what a Godly life should look like.
2. We All Need To Understand The Gospel
- How deep is your understanding of the Gospel? Do you understand terms like "regeneration," "justification," or "grace?"
Regeneration: to be born again, or born from above (see John 3)
Justified: to declare or treat as righteous (see Romans 4:1-8)
Grace: God's enabling power
3. We All Need To Devote Ourselves To What Is Excellent & Profitable
- Do you live a purposeful and intentional life for Jesus? Do you build others up or tear them down?
Summary: We all need to read Titus 3 and other Bible passages (especially the whole book of Romans & Ephesians 2) to be reminded of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to study and un-layer all that Christ accomplished for us on the cross and in turn worship and adore him with thankfulness. Many of us are held back by a fear of truly understanding the grace and mercy of God. Living a life abandoned to Christ, fully trusting him, following him in faith is scary for many. My prayer is that you would "taste and see that the LORD is good" and you would know Jesus and his love for you in an intimate way.
