Godliness is a community project. After being told to love the truth, Paul instructs Titus now to teach the truth. In doing so, God paints a compelling vision of what a Christian community ought to look like and how it comes about.

There is only one true message about Jesus. And it’s only by believing in it that we can have eternal life and live godly lives. Therefore, Christians should care deeply about the truth about Jesus. So that they won’t be deceived by false messages. And so that they can ensure other Christians won’t be deceived, and non-Christians can hear the truth and be saved.

Ancient Crete serves as a prototype of a post-God society like our own. In Titus, Paul gives the young church plants wisdom for how to survive and thrive in such a context. The opening of the letter captures two foundational realities: The message is the engine of the church, and they need to make sure it stays the engine of the church.

Come Lord Jesus! Come and Judge. Come and Re-create. Come and dwell with us.

Jesus IS coming, but will you come to Him and be part of His new creation?

The Bible describes the time we’re living in as the last days. Part of that means Jesus has poured out his Spirit so that we would be empowered be his witnesses to the end of the earth. But not only that, we have God’s Spirit so that we can be optimistic in our fight against sin.

The Old Testament is a book without an ending and can be summed up as "He's coming". As we turn the pages of the New Testament, we meet Jesus who announces: "I'm here" and with him comes the kingdom of God. Jesus shows he is God's ultimate person, God's ultimate place and God's ultimate ruler who showers us with the ultimate blessing.
