Sacred Life: Titus 1.5-9, 15-16
Purity is not regarded today as a highly sought quality. So it was in the church in Crete. The churches throughout Crete were lacking in the area of purity from its members to even those given the platform to teach. The culture was polluting and contaminating the church. The church was lacking purity of doctrine and purity in living. Such purity is needed from the leaders of the church and throughout the church.

Sacred Life: Titus 1.5-6
In Paul's letter written to Titus one sees life. In fact, a sacred and holy life for a different kind of people, the church. The mission of the church is to be about making things right in a world that is wrong. Things need to be set in order. This week Paul tells Titus to start at the top. Leadership is everything. With Christ as the head leadership is crucial to the church. We need godly influence in the church. This week we will see what that influence is to look like. We all need this model and must follow it.

Sacred Life: Titus 1.5, 10-16
If you were to sit back and look at your life, what would need to be set in order? What is not right? What is lacking? Those who are in Christ are new. Their mission in life is to be about making things right and to straighten things out according to the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. We pray that God would make all things new today!

Sacred Life: Titus 1.1-4
In Paul's letter written to Titus one sees life. In fact, a sacred and holy life for a different kind of people, the church. Titus finds himself in Crete. The churches which he is charged with giving oversight find themselves in an evil culture that is lost, chaotic and confused. The influence of the outside culture is impacting the church. Paul calls Titus to get things in order. We must do this in our own lives. It is time to call a time out and set things in order. Let’s look at our individual lives, our family, our home and our relationships and set things in order. We need to see what is lacking and ask the Lord to fill us up. We need to stop living in confusion and chaos allowing the Lord to bring truth and peace to our lives. We need to live the life we were created for and called to as God’s people. We are to be different and to stand out from the culture and this world that we live in. Too many times we do not. I pray that as we dive into this timely letter that we as God’s people would be drenched under the waterfall of God’s Word and live in the overflow of the godly life which He produces in us impacting the different spheres of influence in our lives.
