TITUS 2
Transformed by God’s Standards
Titus 1:5-9
5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you.
Titus 1:5-9
6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
Titus 1:5-9
7 Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
Titus 1:5-9
8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
Titus 1:5-9
9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
We are called to share his LOVE and LIVE HIS WORD.

We don’t have great leaders, because we don’t cherish godly values.
When we cherish godly values in our hearts and
homes, then our children gain the vision of
being a godly leader.
When our children desire being a godly leader, then
they will early on gain those
life qualities as needed.
