Growing and Witnessing Clint Davis

In this first video of the second volume of our study of the Westminster Confession of Faith, we discuss the Confession's teaching on Justification. Justification is a principal doctrine for our Christian hope. Join us. The links to the slides and the Confession are below.

What is the reason for which we live? The glory of God is why we exist. We are redeemed to glorify God as well. Paul gave Timothy 5 ways that God is glorified in the Church and the individual lives of His people. 

Paul instructed Titus to teach sound doctrine to the Christians in Crete. Sound doctrine impacts the way the Church and home are organized. Older women are to teach younger ones, and older men are to train the younger ones. We can learn much from Paul's instruction to Titus for being a congregation in 2024.

Paul instructed Titus to teach sound doctrine, which forms the foundation for godly living. Preparing our hearts for the Lord's Supper, we studied the implications of the gospel of God's grace to enable us to live for Christ and wait for His return. 

Paul told Titus to silence the false teachers who infiltrated the Cretan congregations. These teachers intentionally led people astray, disrupting family and the congregation for greedy gain. They were to be silenced and ignored. The same is true today. 

Proper leadership is essential for the health of any congregation. Paul understood this explicitly and left Titus in Crete to establish godly elders to lead the island's fledgling congregations. We must have well-qualified leaders today as well.
