When someone becomes a Christian—saved by grace, born again, forgiven, made alive—it's big news. And when they graduate to glory in the future, it's big news too. But what are we supposed to do in the meantime? What is Jesus' purpose for the present tense? In other words: What is the meaning of life?

That's the question this message from Benjamin Shanks aims to answer from Titus 2:1-15. This message will encourage you with a purpose for your life—that the riches of God's grace are available to teach you to do what is good!

OUR PAST IS GRACE;

OUR FUTURE IS GLORY;

OUR PRESENT IS GOOD.

Power. Titus 1:5-16 is about power in the church at Crete. In this message, Benjamin Shanks wades into the waters of power—what it is and what it's for. This message will challenge you to use the power to have to love God and others, the way Jesus did.

THE INTRODUCTION OF POWER;

THE DISTORTION OF POWER;

THE REDEMPTION OF POWER;

THE PERFECTION OF POWER.

The introduction to Paul’s letter to Titus… it’s a tricky passage in a tricky book. In this message, Benjamin Shanks kicks off our July sermon series by asking five simple questions of Titus 1:1-4 — WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? WHY? This message will encourage you to further the faith by growing in knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness. KNOW TRUTH, GROW GODLY.
