[Sunday] Zeus’ Cretans - Titus Chapter 1

ServiceSundaySermons
Written By Cris Escher

Titus was called to the island of Zeus’ birth, Crete. Those who lived on the island took great pride, even acting like their unhinged god. This wild behavior caused those in Greece frustration. The question is, how do you bring hope to a place that is filled with dishonor?

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK:   Zeus’ Cretans

  1. Titus does ministry in Crete, the epicenter of the worship of the Greek gods.  What advice would you give someone doing ministry in that type of culture?

  2. How is that culture similar to today?   

  3. Read Titus 1:1-16.  What advice does Paul give to Titus ministering in Crete?

  4. After reading Titus, how can you follow the way Paul is beginning to lay out and bring peace in a chaotic world?

The Great Divorce is my favorite C.S. Lewis book. It truly forces us to look in the mirror and decide if we are actually willing to lay down our demons and walk toward the light.

[Sunday] Psalm 1 - The Man
[Sunday] Psalm 1 - The Man

The Bible is full of opposites: light/dark, good/evil, life/death, and on and on. To that list we can add saint/sinner. Psalm 1 deals with both the saint and the sinner in each of us while also laying a solid foundation for the entire Psalter. It also introduces us to our Savior.
