“Just how is a church planted?”
What are Paul’s key points? Titus 1:1-16
✓ Authority: Ministry is rooted in God’s revelation (word). vv. 1-4
✓ Leadership: Church elders/teachers must be carefully appointed based upon simple, but crucial
character qualities. vv. 5-9
✓ Battleground: Leaders face false teachers, errant culture. vv. 10-16
What is the Big Idea?
A church is planted by following God’s command to appoint godly elders/pastors who will confront false teachers and counter the ungodliness of the culture by instructing others in His Word.
