A Life2Life Invasion (3 of 4)
Series: Invasion

Titus 2:1-15
We're (3) weeks into a (4) week series in Titus entitled - Invasion. I chose this title b/c Paul is concerned w/ the war being waged b/w Spirit and flesh, the church and the world. He concludes - if the world invades the church, the world will invade you; but if Christ invades you, you will invade the world.
As a recap, in week 1 we looked at the doctrinal heart of this letter. In ch. 3:3-8, Paul tells Titus - the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart - and the fact is everything rises and falls on the cross and whether Christ has invaded your heart.
Last week we looked at Paul's call to Titus to protect the church from the world by straightening out any incorrect teachings/practices that had already seeped in and to raise up/disciple a group of leaders who might have an ability to help him have a right influence over the house church.
Paul has given his protégé (5) primary directives for pastoring/overseeing the church in Crete.
- Base everything you do on the Gospel of Jesus
- Straighten out the bad doctrines/practices
- Surround yourself w/ Godly, discipling leaders
- Personally invest Jesus in you into others
- Together engage the world in Jesus' name

Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, busy at home, kind, and subject to their husbands, that no one will malign the word of God. Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything show yourself to be an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that canno ...
