Paul had started a church on the island of Crete. It was on the grow, and Paul put one of his co-workers, Titus, in charge of overseeing that church.

The letter Paul wrote to Titus gave him some instructions about how to set the church in order.

​

If we study this letter carefully, we will learn some basics about what God wants us to be as we grow up in Him.

​

In his instruction, Paul speaks of the importance of the truth of the gospel in the introduction. He talks about a solid commitment to a knowledge of the truth that comes from the God who does not lie.

​

The church's primary mission is to spread abroad the truth about Jesus Christ. And one of the fiercest temptations for a modern church seems be, to dilute the gospel in order to adjust to culture.

​

I want us to look first at the source of truth, or the standard of truth, Jesus Christ.

Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—
