Titus Bible Study by David E. Pratte

What Does Grace Teach Us? ================= What does #grace teach about #godliness, worldly lusts, and righteous living? How does grace relate to the #hope of Jesus' return? What is #redemption, and what does it involve? If Jesus gave Himself for us, what is our relationship to Him and what should we do as are a result? How important are good #works?

They Profess to Know God but by Works They Deny Him ================================== Paul continued describing #false #teachers.

Wholesome Guidance for Young Women - part 1 ============================= Young women should be taught to #love their #husbands and #children. Contrary to much of our society, #women should value their #family relations as their primary realm of service. They should also be #discreet, learning good judgment.

The Hope of Eternal Life Which God Promised ============================ Paul was an #apostle to proclaim the #faith by which we become God's elect people. The #truth teaches #godliness which gives #hope of eternal life. God promised this and made it known through the #gospel message that inspired men #preached and wrote down in the #Scriptures so we can know it. Lesson presented by David E. Pratte; www.gospelway.com #Bible #BibleStudy #religion #Jesus #Christ #God #Christianity

Appointing Elders =========== Paul instructed Titus about #elders. Are elders different from #bishops or #pastors? What are the responsibilities of these men: #Teaching? #Supervising? Caring for souls? What are the limits on their #leadership? May one man alone rule a #congregation or must there be more than one? What are the responsibilities of other members to the elders? Lesson presented by David E. Pratte; www.gospelway.com #Bible #BibleStudy #religion #Jesus #Christ #God #Christianity #truth #gospel #Scripture

The Importance of Appointing Qualified Elders ============================ Churches should work to develop and #appoint elders because the work these men do is so essential to working effectively as a congregation. Until a church has #elders, something important is lacking. Scripture reveals the #qualifications or characteristics men must have in order to be appointed. These qualities are necessary for each man to possess in order to serve. Lesson presented by David E.
