Sermon Overview
In this 5-part series, Reidhead explores the requirements for leadership (elders), the "Grace that Teaches" (Titus 2), and the "Washings of Regeneration" (Titus 3). He emphasizes that sound doctrine must result in "good works," and that the church's health is dependent on its adherence to the "Apostolic Pattern" of holy living and church order.
Key Principles
Apostolic Pattern:Adhere to the "New Testament order" for church health; realize your life must "set in order" what is lacking.
Sound Doctrine: Ensure your theology results in "Good Works"; reject any "faith" that doesn't change your behavior.
Grace as Teacher: Use Grace not just for "forgiveness," but as a "tutor" that instructs you in how to live holy today.
Blessed Hope: Use the certainty of Christ’s return as the primary "internal motivator" to keep your life pure.
Kindness of God: Build your life on the "Kindness and Love of God" as revealed in the Cross, rather than your works.
Believing/Behaving:Never separate your "Creed" from your "Conduct"; if you believe correctly, you must behave holily.
Denying Ungodliness:Practice a "decisive No" to worldly values as an active, daily exercise of your surrendered will.
Peculiar People:Embrace your identity as a "Peculiar Person"—one who is God’s personal, "zealous" possession.
