Devote Yourselves to Good Works
August 7, 2016
Sermon
Lesson 9
Titus 3:8-11
Our Necessary Response to the Great Transformation:
Devote Yourselves To Good Works and Shun False Teaching
Main Idea: Because we are transformed by grace, our lives must show it!
• We must follow good works (8)
“Faithful is the word” (4-7, 8a)
Those who have believed in God must devote themselves to good works (8b)
These things are excellent and profitable for people (8c)
• We must flee false teaching and false teachers (9-11)
Avoid false teaching (9)
Foolish controversies
Genealogies
Dissensions
Quarrels about the law
Reason: They are useless and fruitless
Deal with false teachers (10-11)
Warn them once
Warn them twice
Have nothing more to do with them
They are warped
They are sinful
They are self-condemned
Applications
Good works: Are we known by our good works?
Good teaching: Are we careful to distinguish false teaching from true?
Grace: Do our lives reflect the grace that has been shown to us?
