Wax Free . . . Sun Tested Part 1 (Titus 3:12–15)

Share a commentYou can learn a lot about a person by what they do when the spotlight hits the cracks We start with an unforgettable picture from the ancient world glass and pottery tested by sunlight to reveal what's real and what's been patched with wax That image becomes our doorway into Paul's closing words to Titus and the kind of sincere faith that refuses to pretend We slow down over one small word in Titus that most readers rush past or Paul tells Titus he will send Artemis or Tychicus which means he has not decided yet We talk [... more]

Can You Know the Bible and Still Make Foolish Decisions?

Some of us know the Bible inside and out yet struggle to make wise decisions in everyday life Jesus told a story that sounds wrong at first and ends up showing us where wisdom with money really begins Let's walk through Luke and the parable of the unjust steward looking at what the master actually praised and what the word shrewd really means We also see why Jesus told it to the Pharisees and how we can be generous faithful stewards instead of being mastered by money Book Smart Street Smart or Both The Parable That Seems to Reward a [... more]

Learning the Art of Refusal Part 2 (Titus 3:9)

Share a commentThe fastest way to weaken a church is not always persecution from the outside It's distraction from the inside We wrestle with Paul's straight talk to Titus in Titus and the uncomfortable truth that a congregation can spend its energy on arguments that feel spiritual while producing nothing but heat hurt and division When opinions gain authority traditions start acting like doctrine and being right becomes the win condition the gospel mission quietly slips to the background We also dig into the social dynamics Paul calls out genealogy pride status signaling and the temptation to treat background or [... more]
