Titus – Living in Light of the Cross – 2011 – Canberra, AUS
The life of faith is a spiritual journey beginning at the moment of new birth (regeneration) through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and continuing onward and upward from spiritual infancy—through the stages of spiritual growth— into maturity and beyond. I refer to it as the journey “from the cross to the crown.”
The little book of Titus, one of Paul’s “pastoral epistles,” provides a short-course on the life of faith. As we explore the great and timeless truth contained in this epistle, we will refer again and again to the “life of faith” and the journey “from the cross to the crown,” and to the many promises and provisions supplied by God in His matchless grace for those who choose to live in the light of the cross.
This was the subject of the Spring 2011 Conference in Canberra, Australia.

God's authority is revealed in election - God chose Jesus Christ, and ordained that all who believe in Him would share in His glory, character. 1st five verses: Tit 1:2 God's veracity; Tit 1:3 God's timing; Tit 1:4 God's plan; Tit 1:5 God's organization: has an objective - salvation (Luk 19:10); has a policy - Grace; has Authority (Rom 13:1-7). Divine institutions: (1) volition; (2) marriage; (3) family; (4) government. Paul uses a Divine principle in setting up churches (1Co 14:33, Tit 1:5). Paul left Titus in Crete to fix several authority issues. Titus was to pick an overseer: husband focused on one wife - not polygamous (Tit 1:6-9).
