Pastor Marshall Ochs | March 23, 2025
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Titus 2. This chapter emphasizes that a strong church requires healthy households where all members—older men, older women, young women, and young men—live in alignment with sound doctrine through their actions. Paul contrasts the behavior of unfit teachers in the Cretan church with the example Titus should set, teaching that faith and works go hand in hand, and genuine faith produces a distinct, godly life. The Christian life should be a testimony to the truth of the gospel, with one's actions matching their beliefs to give credibility to their words and strengthen the church's witness to the world.
