Intro: Aladdin and Genie’s 3 Rules
Can we bring theology back from the dead?
Truth Alive!
Titus 1:1-5
Theology is for Living Titus 1:1
Knowing Truth/Theo = Living Right v1
Theology: The study & knowing of God that transforms us and how we live.
Theology brings us in line with reality (What is true) Titus 1:2
We can trust God, His Word & His Promises
Why?
Because God Never lies
How does truth bring us in line with reality?
Theology is not optional - Everyone is a theologian Titus 1:3-4
Paul is commanded and entrusted to do it
Titus is appointed to use it in the church
The rest of the book is about how Theology motivates us to Live Differently and pursue good works
Theology heals when used rightly Titus 1:5
Like Setting Right a broken bone
Anyone broken a bone?
Dislocated a shoulder?
Good church leadership sets things right.
Truth Translated - Titus 1:6-9
Theology must be put into practice by Leaders (And Future Leaders)
The Turth that they teach should line up with what they say they believe AND how they live.
When leaders (and future leaders) do not live out what they say they believe, Everyone is hurt.
Truth Tested Titus 1:10-16
Theology Un-applied Leads to Deception, collateral damage, heart & mind sickness, exploitation, guilt, & shame v10-15
Rebuke is the only antidote - vs 11
Theology warns us of a painful reality: v 16
I can claim to know God and not really know him.
Because my life doesn’t line up.
But here is hope - God’s Grace is for those who can’t seem to get their act together.
God’s Grace is how we live out theology
That is what we are going to be looking at this weekend in Titus
