In Accordance with Sound Doctrine (Part 2)
Titus 2:1-10
Pastor Jerry Koller
First group: older men.
Second group: older women.
Overall Goal: to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. (vs. 12)
Then they (older women) can train the younger women (Titus 2:4a).
· The NASB says: so that they may encourage the young women.
This responsibility is connected to the importance of teaching what is good (verse 3).
Train / Encourage
· The Greek word for train or encourage is not the typical word for either train or encourage.
· A simple summary of what this word means is this: radically moderate and in true balance.
· There is an objective to teaching what is good: transforming someone to be "radically-balanced" according to the Lord's will.
· This radical-balance requires a complete perspective that is eclectic, combining the legitimate extremities of truth from both sides of a matter.
· It shows what it is and what it is not; what is pleasing as well as what is displeasing to God.
· The goal is radical balance, or better, a true balance.
Verse four say their example may encourage or train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children (NASB).
Factors to take into consideration:
· societal norms of the day
· traditions or ethnicity
· generational and cultural differences
· how the individual herself and how she is wired
Paul gives some examples of what some characteristics of love includes.
Self-Controlled (see 1:8; 2:2)-not being extreme in behavior; with curbing one's desires and impulses. It has to do with being careful and sensible while exercising sound judgement.
Pure—undefiled or uncontaminated both inside and out—especially in regard to sin.
Busy at Home (NIV) or Workers at Home (NASB)— It is a compound word that is rare and hard to translate.
· One part has to do with a house or household.
· The other part has to do with work or labor.
Kind—This characteristic deals with those things which are good and beneficial to others, especially to the household.
Subject to their husbands - It has to do with submission
Group Four: Young Men
Group Five: Slaves
Titus is to teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything.
· This is the normal expectation of all slaves.
· Slaves who have come to Christ should be slaves of the highest caliber.
· They are to try to please them is all they do.
· They should not talk back to them.
· They must not steal from their master.
· They should be fully trusted.
Why these characteristics? So that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
· By their actions and attitudes, they become perfect evangelists.
APPLICATION
The lives we live must be in line with what is addressed in the word of God.
When societal or cultural norms clash with God’s standards and expectations as revealed in His word, we must choose God’s ways rather than men’s ways.
Following God’s ways will set us apart from those around us who are not Christ-followers.

· The Marshall Family: Tracy has requested that we specifically pray for the following: "Nolan is signed up for Boys and Girls Club (BGC) this summer. It's every day from 12-5 and we desperately need him to hold it together well enough to attend. We tried BGC during school and he lasted three days before he was asked to not come back. But since he punched his friend and now is not allowed to play with anyone in the neighborhood, if he can't handle this, then we are in for a verrrrrry long summer while we are trying to work and Daniel is getting a lot of pressure from his boss to come back into the office and HR is involved...please pray they grant this flexible work arrangement and also that Nolan will be successful at the BCG."
· Chris Tragna (Kristen Schultz' mother) is recovering from a stroke, and they are working through her healing as well as looking at options for 24 hour care. Please keep her and her family in prayer as she recovers and decisions are made.
· Sarah McKamey is waiting for test results for heart related issues. She has a follow up appointment with her doctor on 6/21. Please pray for good results and that there is no significant damage.
· We extend our condolences to Bruce & Vasha Ferguson upon the death of Vasha's godmother, Mary Ann Jones, on 5/30 in Washington.
· Leslie Robinson (friend of Bruce & Vasha Ferguson) is home and using a walker. Thank God for His mercy and faithfulness, and please continue praying for her full recovery.
· Sadie (29 year-old friend of Steve & Lisa Follman) had a liver transplant shortly after birth and is now having a lot of health complications. She is receiving palliative care. Also keep her family in prayer.
· Terry Buckley (father of Keith Buckley) is being evaluated for heart issues.
· Caroline Bocock has been terribly ill as she is dealing with a Lyme Disease outbreak. Some of her symptoms included being in excruciating pain, having blackouts, issues with sleeping, darkening vision, random skin issues, a constant headache since 11/5, and so much more. She is taking a regiment of medications to get it under control.
· Joyce Bocock has completed chemo and radiation; praise God that both tumors have shrunk significantly more than expected; evaluating additional treatment options.
