On a culture-contrasting Mother’s Day text, he shows how Paul calls older women to a life of reverence and self-control so that they can disciple younger women to love their husbands, love their children, and flourish in their God-given roles at home and in the church.\nKey themes:\nTitus is charged to “set in order” the churches in Crete, beginning with godly leadership and then godly men and women.\nOlder women have a primary ministry in the church: discipling younger women.\nCharacter before ministry: older women must be reverent, not slanderers, not addicted to much wine, and able to teach what is good.\nYounger women need to be taught how to love their husbands and children, to be sensible, pure, devoted to their homes, kind, and respectfully submitted to their husbands.\nAll of this has a gospel purpose: so that God’s Word is not dishonored and Christ looks attractive to the watching world.\n\nScripture to Read:\n\nMain Scripture Passage \n- Titus 2:1–5 \nSupporting Scripture Passage \n- 1 Thessalonians 2:7–8 \nApplication Scripture Passage \n- Proverbs 31:25–31 \nQuestions to consider:\nIf you are an older woman, are you cultivating the character Paul describes so you can pour into younger women?\nIf you are a younger woman, are you seeking out an older, godly woman to help you grow in loving your family and ordering your life?\nHow might your home, relationships, and speech better reflect the gospel so that God’s Word is honored in your everyday life?","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/IopCaxSTJ2ehpv3MS8IEV2j95w_P2_kp0iVG4kCvkok/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mMTYw/MTkxMTk3ZjE4NjNh/Nzg2YjlhZGE3Mjdm/NTFjMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
