Titus 2:1-15 Right Living in the Church

Memory Verse Titus 2:11-12(KJV)

11” For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world”;

The church consists of different age groups, although these groups all help to make the church stronger, they also pose some challenges. Pauls gave Titus counsel on how to help the various groups to grow in the faith. Although it is the same gospel but different methods has to be adopted to pass the message across.

According to verses 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9, the various groups are

•        The old men

•        The old women

•        The young women

•        The young men

•        The Slaves

The older ones should teach the younger ones by words and example. We shouldn’t only teach the gospel, we should also live by them as well. The power to live as Christians comes from the help of Holy Spirit.
