In this closing message from the book of Titus, Pastor Robbie walks through Paul’s final instructions to Titus and the church in Crete. Paul urges the church to avoid divisive people, care well for gospel workers, and devote themselves to doing what is good so they don’t live unproductive lives.
Key themes:
- Churches (and Christians) will always have things that need to be “put in order.”
- Divisive people must be warned—and, if unrepentant, avoided for the sake of church unity.
- Ministry is personal and pastoral: we should be honest about our needs and care for one another.
- God calls His people to practical obedience, not over‑spiritualizing every decision.
- Believers must *learn* to devote themselves to good works and to meet urgent needs.
- Every Christian is a “vessel” meant to be cleansed and useful to the Master for every good work.

Questions to consider:

- In what specific ways can I devote myself to doing good and meeting urgent needs this week?
