As we conclude* our 7 week series looking at the book of Titus: what have you learned? What have you been encouraged by? What have you been challenged by?
Paul concludes his book with this challenge in chapter 3 verse 14:
‘Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.’
Our Bible study group was surprised to read about productivity in the Bible. It follows on from a description of what is excellent and profitable for everyone in verse 8. Productivity and profit are good aims – but our productivity and profit is not for ourselves, but for the benefit of others.
One way to think about this is that we each seek to be a contributor to others. We aim to be givers, not takers. We want to be in community, not just individuals. Please take a moment to read over the book of Titus and think about what you’ve learned. Come prepared to share something at Church, or come prepared with a question to ask.
Yours in Christ,
Ben
*We conclude Titus on 13 July at Picton and 20 July at Wilton.
