Oh for Grace: The Book of Titus
A verse-by-verse journey through Titus — the history behind the letter and the grace of Titus 2:11-12 that not only saves us, but teaches us to live.
When we hear the word grace, most of us think first of forgiveness — and rightly so. Grace is God's unmerited favor, freely given through Jesus Christ. But the little letter of Titus reminds us that grace is far more than a gift that saves us from our past. Grace is a daily companion that walks with us into our future. It rescues us from sin, and then it goes to work transforming us into the people God has called us to be.
This class walks through the whole book of Titus so you can read it with fresh eyes. We start with the story behind the letter — who Paul was writing to, the rough island of Crete, and why the letter was needed. Then we slow down over Titus 2:11-12, the heart of the sermon 'Oh for Grace,' and see how grace both saves and teaches. We close by asking the practical question: what does grace-shaped living look like this week?
