Two Essentials of a Healthy Church – Titus 1:1-16

TItus 1:1-16

Today we are going to talk about two essentials of a healthy church: Sound Doctrine, and Qualified Elders. Titus is about renovating the church in Crete. He has the hard task of trying to put what remained in order, and to do that he is to teach sound doctrine, and appoint qualified elders. Apart from these two, the church will collapse. Virtually, every church in the NT needed reformation in these areas. So let’s look at these two essentials of a healthy church, and they are related: (1) Sound Doctrine (1-4), (2) Qualified Elders (5-16). Left to ourselves, we can’t live out this list of qualifications put forth in Titus! But there is one ultimate Overseer who did them perfectly.We must look to Christ to be transformed.
