Gospel-Driven Godliness and Church Leadership, Part 8
In 1:10-16, Paul explains why Titus’ appointment of qualified leadership in the Cretan churches is so important, namely, there are many false teachers in Crete turning people away from the gospel. So then, Paul exhorts Titus to not only appoint godly leadership (1:6-9) but also to oppose ungodly leadership in the church (1:10-16). In order to aid Titus and the churches in recognizing and opposing ungodly leadership, Paul gives twelve characteristics of false teachers and two action steps to take in order to prevent them from harming the church. These characteristics and action steps not only apply to Paul’s day but to every age.
Establishing Guardrails
God calls us to live careful lives that reflect his nature. A key part of living a life that pleases the Lord is establishing personal guardrails that keep us from straying into dangerous places. We want to educate our conscience to serve as guardrails.
THE WRATH OF GOD REVEALED: and the Good News of Jesus Proclaimed (Message #3 * Romans 1:16-32) 10-21-2012
The Wrath of God Revealed 1. God’s Wrath is Revealed against Humanity’s Sin: because sin deeply offends God and leads to the suppression of His truth (v18). 2. We are Accountable to our Creator (vs19-20, 32). ● This is understood through General Revelation (vs19-20). ● People willfully rebel against God, knowing they deserve judgment, and even approve of those who sin (v32). 3. God Gave People up to their Sin (vs21-31). ● They exchanged the glory of God for idolatry, so God handed them over to sexual impurity (vs21-24). ● They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, so God handed them over to dishonorable passions (vs25-27). ● They refused to acknowledge God, so God handed them over to a corrupted mind, to do evil things (vs28-31). The Good News of Jesus Proclaimed 1. Be humbled by God’s Wrath: we all stand guilty before God outside of faith in Jesus Christ (vs18-32; 2:1 – 3:20). 2. Be Confident in the Gospel: it is God’s power for the salvation of everyone who believes (v16). 3. Live by Faith in this Evil-fallen world: as the righteous people of God for His gospel and for His glory (v17; Hab 2:4; Heb 10:32ff).
Do You Not Know?, Part 9
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-20, Paul asks a series of four questions in order to confront and correct the sexual immorality of the Corinthians. The problem with the Corinthian believers was that they didn’t really know the gospel and its implications for their lives, particularly in the matter of sexual immorality. So, Paul's four questions were intended to direct the Corinthians back to the gospel (and it implications), which alone has the power motivate them to flee sexual immorality (v. 18a) and to glorify God in their bodies (v. 20b). Paul's questions are based on the gospel-philosophy, “become what you are.”

Are You A Good Friend (Part 2)
Our Maker has made us to interact with and intersect with others in life. We are not an island unto ourselves where we reside in a fort built for one but have been designed to connect our islands and form alliances.
