About this sermon
We are living in a time of great confusion in our nation. It’s a time of cultural upheaval. Never, in my lifetime, has there been a clearer display of the truth of Titus 3:3. ESV Titus 3:3 For awe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. Foolishness, moral and spiritual wandering, bondage to passions and pleasures, and malicious human beings — this is our present world. Sadly, the confusion in the culture is being manifested in the church. We are living in a time when it seems that many in the church are desperate to be viewed as wise in the eyes of the world. We see a church that seems desperate to be applauded by cultural standards, and as a result, is showing all the signs of the confusion that happens when you try to push eternal truth into the mold of temporal concerns. When that happens, two things always follow. The church reflects the turmoil of the culture, and the purity of the gospel is traded for a version that seems to make cultural sense. This is a time when we are in desperate need of the message of the book of the Titus. If I were to attempt to gather up the entire teaching of this book in a sentence, I would describe it this way. The chief concern of the book of Titus is the stability of the church that exists in the purity of the gospel.
