Since coming through the pandemic, chaos seems to reign in so much of contemporary life. Our information age has not proven itself the "end all, be all" we were told it would be and progress does not universally impress us like it once did. What is missing?

For all our desire for excitement, we actually crave order. We expect the sun to rise and set at the right times, for the ocean tides to come in and out as prescribed. Order gives us security.

Our God is a God of orderly processes and demands to be worshipped according to HIS declared ways. In the church we should find this Godly, well-ordered environment a refuge from the worldly, chaotic sea of human self-rule. We know the Creator God of the universe, and he has called us by name to be his own new creations, yet still struggling amidst the fallen old creation.

On Sunday, join us as we continue our study of Titus in our sermon series entitled, "Titus: Ordering the Church for Faithfulness and Fruitfulness". Please read the second chapter in preparation for a lesson on the first ten verses as we examine how God has ordered how we instruct each other.

As a reminder, the Montclair Community group is in our overflow downstairs this Sunday.

Blessings in Christ,

Grace and peace!

Pastor Ron

What role do men have in the household of God? See also Titus 1:5-9.

What role do women have in the household of God? See also 1 Timothy 2-3.

What does it mean for older women to teach younger women to love their husbands and children and workers at home? Why was that needed in Crete (see Titus 1:10-16; 3:1-3)? How does this apply today?

How do good works gain an audience for God’s Word? See Titus 2:5, 8, 10.

How do we apply Titus 2:9-10 today?

What is the hardest word for you in Titus 2:1-10? What do you need the most help with?

Where is the source of that change? Hint: it is not a list of rules to follow, it is a Spirit-given conformity to Christ. See Titus 2:11-15.
