There are three things we need to do, talk about what Jesus and His grace have done, Encourage each other and correct each other.

What has Jesus done for you? He gave himself for you, He bought you, He cleaned you. He did this so we could be His people, His possession and so that we could do good works.

We are standing and looking for the blessed hope, the appearing of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Are you expecting Him today?

Grace is our personal trainer. Grace will train us in self control, in living righteously and in a manner that we are set apart. It does this for in the world we are living in.

Grace instructs us how we can be delivered from ungodliness and worldly desires. It is not the permission to be ungodly and worldly.

The grace of God is a gift. We see it through the eyes of faith. It is not a material thing but a spiritual concept.

Employees need to be pleasing to the employer, not ever speaking things that are contrary to their wishes. Employees must be an example that cause people to think that the teaching they follow is beautiful.

A bondservant is much like an employee today. Paul teaches that a bondservant is to be in order under their master. They should do what they are asked.

Young men need a behavior that shows they are respectful and teachable. Their speech needs to be healthy. If they will do these things the people who stand against them will be put to shame. They will be rendered speechless.

Paul begins to teach about young men. They are to be sensible which means to be sound or saved in their thinking. They also need to be good moral examples and that what they teach is morally sound.

The woman's role in the home is vital to the church and our society. When older women teach and lay a moral foundation into the lives of young women they will be kind and subject to their husbands.

The teaching of older women will cause younger women to be sensible and pure. They will be the workers in the home that builds a moral foundation.

Older women must teach things that are morally good. This lays a foundation for the family. It helps them to affectionately love their husbands and children.

Older women should also be an example to the church. They should reverent in their actions, not slanderous gossips and not enslaved to wine or alcohol.

Older men need to be an example by being sound in faith, love, standing under pressure.

Old men should be looked up as godly examples. To be this example to the church they need to be temperate, dignified and sensible.

We need to speak and hear sound or healthy doctrine. That is a challenge for us today.

Paul is speaking to Titus. He tells Titus that it his responsibly that people are fit for sound doctrine. That they way is prepared for sound doctrine.

People can say they have seen God but their actions deny what they say. These people that Paul was writing about were detestable, disobedient and their good deeds were worthless.

What does Paul mean when he says to the pure all things are pure? We look at this verse in this teaching.
