00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.679
 Well, as is made clear throughout the entire letter, faithful leadership in the local church

00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:12.519
 is vital to not only having but maintaining a healthy congregation.

00:00:13.700 --> 00:00:18.679
 And if you think back to the earlier studies in the letter, you'll remember that Titus was

00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:25.920
 temporarily left in Crete for the purpose of setting things in order so that the churches

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:33.219
 in Crete would flourish rather than dissipate and ultimately dissolve into whatever error

00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:41.700
 or maybe just extinction, that by emphasizing the right things, setting things in order

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:48.780
 structurally, doctrinally, the church would continue to grow and glorify the Lord.

00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:54.700
 And the first step in the process of doing this, as we reflect back on chapter one, is

00:00:54.700 --> 00:01:02.440
 to appoint elders, elders in each congregation that would faithfully lead and teach and protect

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:03.060
 the church.

00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:13.240
 Titus was to seek out men of blameless character who were committed to the gospel message, who

00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:19.180
 were capable of teaching it well, and willing to confront those who contradicted.

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:24.020
 That's really the three categories that we find repeated throughout the letter.

00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:32.299
 Sprinkled throughout the letter are these instructions that promote what we might call the basics of

00:01:32.299 --> 00:01:33.439
 faithful ministry.

00:01:34.060 --> 00:01:40.280
 And such is our text for this morning, verses 8 through 11, really laying the groundwork.

00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:45.780
 It's not everything that is involved in faithfulness and ministry, but it is not less than these things

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:46.280
 for sure.

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.120
 And the fact that this text has church leaders as its primary audience, we need to remember,

00:01:51.460 --> 00:02:00.659
 doesn't make it okay to disregard it if you are not in some sort of church leadership or ministry

00:02:00.659 --> 00:02:03.460
 vocation or whatever it may be.

00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:10.120
 And let me give you a few reasons why you need to care about pastoral instructions in the scriptures.

00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:10.520
 Okay?

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:11.460
 Just three things.

00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:14.960
 There's probably more, but I typically think in threes.

00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:15.860
 And so I'm going to give you three.

00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:17.480
 Here's the first reason.

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.120
 It's in the Bible.

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.039
 And that's the most important reason, isn't it?

00:02:22.140 --> 00:02:23.099
 It's in the Bible.

00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.140
 And we know that all scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for us.

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.620
 That's what Paul says very plainly in 2 Timothy.

00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:36.599
 All scripture is given by God and is profitable.

00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:40.840
 And he goes on and describes the way that it is profitable.

00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:48.879
 So that if we convince ourselves that there is a portion of scripture, no matter how intriguing

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:54.360
 it may be or not, if we convince ourselves that there is a portion of scripture that is

00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.740
 unnecessary or useless to us, we make God a liar.

00:02:59.740 --> 00:03:06.900
 And we end up rejecting the one thing that he said in the Psalms he has exalted as equal

00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.340
 to his own name.

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:15.420
 Now, that's not to say that all scripture is equally impactful, because it's not.

00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:21.219
 Certainly, as we come to issues specifically related to the gospel of Jesus, that impacts

00:03:21.219 --> 00:03:25.920
 us in a way that reading through the genealogies of the Old Testament just simply does not.

00:03:26.100 --> 00:03:28.140
 But that doesn't mean that they're not profitable.

00:03:28.139 --> 00:03:35.779
 Maybe not equally impactful, but they are equally profitable for knowing God, for knowing his

00:03:35.779 --> 00:03:39.099
 plan of salvation, and for knowing his desires for his people.

00:03:39.259 --> 00:03:41.519
 And this passage is really no exception to that.

00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:46.560
 It may be directed to Titus and to the elders, but it is profitable for each and every one of

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:46.719
 us.

00:03:46.839 --> 00:03:47.919
 Okay, so that's the first thing.

00:03:48.179 --> 00:03:49.799
 Why should we care about this text?

00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.379
 We care first because it's in the Bible.

00:03:52.379 --> 00:04:08.819
 Secondly, pastoral instruction is a means by which God builds up his people.

00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.960
 So think about this for just a moment.

00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:19.519
 The issues of this text are not detached from God's general desires for every Christian.

00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.040
 They're inextricably linked to it, actually.

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.600
 And this is logical for us, isn't it?

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.259
 Titus was to preach the gospel.

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:28.639
 Why?

00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.340
 Because the people must know the gospel.

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.780
 Titus was to insist on godliness.

00:04:34.779 --> 00:04:35.259
 Why?

00:04:35.679 --> 00:04:39.439
 Because the people must pursue godliness in their lives.

00:04:40.099 --> 00:04:45.979
 So by examining God's instructions for pastoral leadership, we find a greater understanding

00:04:45.979 --> 00:04:47.799
 of God's desires, actually, for us.

00:04:47.899 --> 00:04:53.019
 Because when we come and we read this passage, we say, why is it necessary for Jared to do

00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:54.359
 some of the things that he does?

00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.879
 And when we begin to answer those questions, then we can personalize it and say, oh, I need

00:04:58.879 --> 00:04:59.619
 to know the gospel.

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:02.099
 Oh, I need to live in godliness.

00:05:02.099 --> 00:05:04.259
 And these instructions are important for that.

00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:10.939
 Thirdly, if we don't concern ourselves with the qualities and duties of pastoral leadership,

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:21.019
 we will inevitably fail at calling qualified men to fulfill the task, right?

00:05:22.239 --> 00:05:27.219
 How many churches have you been a part of or that you have heard of that in the absence

00:05:27.219 --> 00:05:32.259
 of pastoral leadership and in the search for someone who will just come and care for the

00:05:32.259 --> 00:05:32.920
 congregation?

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.879
 Does not think about what is necessary biblically for the man that will lead, but they look for

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:41.219
 all the wrong things.

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:48.060
 And in their sincerity of heart, they appoint men who are unqualified for the work that God

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:50.039
 has tasked for pastoral leadership.

00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:52.439
 And what is the inevitable result of that?

00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:53.120
 The church fails.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.199
 The church fails.

00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:55.579
 It fails.

00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:57.759
 Leadership's important.

00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.959
 And we need to care about these instructions for those reasons, at least.

00:06:03.180 --> 00:06:07.439
 Well, the instruction of verses 8 through 11, really, if we think about it, is a practical

00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:12.360
 outworking of the qualifications of a pastor given in chapter 1.

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:17.139
 In fact, set your eyes on chapter 1 and verse 9 and look at the similarities here.

00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:24.300
 Paul says that as a part of the qualifications of a pastor, he must hold firm the trustworthy

00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:32.319
 word as taught, apostolic doctrine, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.860
 and then also to rebuke those who contradict it.

00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:37.460
 Okay?

00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:43.439
 That's something that must be true of a man before the church calls him to fulfill the

00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:43.860
 task.

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:44.560
 And why?

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:49.480
 Because when we get to chapter 3 and we find the specific instruction for what Titus and

00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.319
 the other elders are supposed to do, what is it that they must do?

00:06:52.460 --> 00:06:53.860
 They must know the gospel.

00:06:54.300 --> 00:06:55.780
 They must defend the gospel.

00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.960
 They must instruct according to the gospel and to godliness and to sound doctrine.

00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:08.199
 And they must rebuke those and deal with those who cause and stir up division contrary to

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:09.279
 the truth of God's word.

00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:15.000
 So this is really just a practical outworking of what should be true in the character of church

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:15.479
 leadership.

00:07:16.599 --> 00:07:22.560
 And again, the passage doesn't describe everything that a pastor must be and do, but it does give

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:30.199
 us the essence of faithful ministry, to believe the gospel, preach the gospel, confront those

00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:30.959
 who reject it.

00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:36.360
 And there's three basics of faithful ministry that I'd like to point out for you here in

00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.019
 these verses as we work through it, okay?

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:39.319
 Here's the first thing.

00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.480
 Paul says, affirm what is profitable.

00:07:44.899 --> 00:07:46.939
 Affirm what is profitable.

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.240
 Would you look with me at verse 8?

00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.960
 The saying is trustworthy.

00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:58.920
 And I want you to insist on these things so that those who have believed in God may be

00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.420
 careful to devote themselves to good works.

00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.100
 These things are excellent and profitable for people.

00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:09.560
 Now, this isn't difficult to understand, is it?

00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:10.519
 It's very straightforward.

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:11.420
 It's simple.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:19.220
 Titus was to affirm as a matter of first importance the things that are excellent and profitable.

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:20.819
 for people.

00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:24.460
 Which is the pastor's task.

00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:32.399
 The pastor's task is to focus on what is good and beneficial for the people under his care.

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:41.240
 And this concern, in contrast to the false teachers in chapter 1, is not to build a following

00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:51.360
 that serves personal ambition or gain, but it is to be consumed with the care of souls in the congregation.

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.440
 Do you see that?

00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:53.720
 It's very simple to see.

00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:59.399
 Titus, do the things that are good and profitable for the people.

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:05.740
 And of course, a sure sign of a false teacher is that their priorities are self-exalting.

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:12.740
 It's not hard to see that when you look around at maybe certain churches or certain celebrity pastors or ministers,

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.840
 whatever the case may be.

00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:19.800
 A sure sign of false teaching is self-exalting people.

00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:25.719
 But it's also not uncommon to see pastors who are orthodox in their teaching,

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.259
 orthodox in their theology,

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:36.039
 at some point become consumed with self,

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.240
 self-consuming in their priority of ministry.

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.240
 So that rather than focusing primarily on the care of the people,

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.159
 they use the church to build their platform.

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:53.680
 Being seduced by the false gold of ministry success and whatever it may be,

00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:56.000
 it's actually quite easy to fall into that.

00:09:56.060 --> 00:09:56.700
 It's a temptation.

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.779
 It's a reason we pray for our pastors, right?

00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.799
 Because it's an easy thing to fall into.

00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:02.659
 It's an easy thing to desire.

00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:04.399
 And without realizing it,

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.019
 you begin to lead and to preach and to teach

00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:10.779
 and to focus on those things that serve your own ambition

00:10:10.779 --> 00:10:13.220
 rather than what is profitable for the people.

00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:18.379
 And eventually these church leaders will abandon the things that are profitable

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:22.860
 in order to focus on what is profitable for them.

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.679
 And Paul makes it very clear here

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.059
 that the things that are excellent for people

00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:31.960
 and why they are profitable for people

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.179
 are the gospel of grace.

00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:37.279
 It's all founded in the gospel of grace.

00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.219
 So first he says,

00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.359
 Titus is to affirm the truth of the gospel.

00:10:42.819 --> 00:10:44.059
 Look again at verse eight.

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:47.339
 The saying is trustworthy, he says.

00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:49.559
 Now the saying that is trustworthy

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.099
 is the gospel creed or hymn

00:10:52.099 --> 00:10:54.759
 that we've studied in verses four through seven.

00:10:54.959 --> 00:10:56.759
 So there's a flow here.

00:10:56.859 --> 00:10:58.659
 That's why we read all 11 verses.

00:10:59.139 --> 00:11:00.279
 Here's the exhortation.

00:11:00.339 --> 00:11:01.839
 Then he goes through this gospel creed

00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.360
 and he says this saying, this creed, this hymn,

00:11:04.580 --> 00:11:06.879
 whatever it was and however it functioned in the church,

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.680
 it is trustworthy.

00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:12.879
 And what is it that the creed is about?

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:15.379
 The message of God's grace.

00:11:16.139 --> 00:11:16.780
 It's trustworthy.

00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:21.440
 Which doesn't mean that it's merely worth considering.

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:26.220
 It is a statement that affirms its absolute truth.

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:30.100
 The gospel is the truth of God.

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.980
 Preaching it must be a priority of every church leader.

00:11:34.460 --> 00:11:38.420
 And it must be the central focus of everything that the church is

00:11:38.420 --> 00:11:41.400
 and everything that the church does.

00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.740
 So that pastors then in their primary responsibility

00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:50.000
 is to saturate the people with the gospel,

00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:53.680
 which is not the ABCs of the Christian life,

00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:55.100
 as some people seem to think,

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:58.340
 but it is the A to Z of the Christian life.

00:11:58.460 --> 00:11:59.840
 It is the beginning and the end.

00:12:00.060 --> 00:12:01.139
 It is everything.

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:03.519
 It is everything that is useful,

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.700
 not only for conversion,

00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.019
 but as we have studied all throughout this letter,

00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.879
 useful for sanctification,

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:10.659
 useful for glorification.

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:12.699
 The gospel is the thing.

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.279
 And we must be saturated in it.

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:19.740
 Second, he says,

00:12:21.079 --> 00:12:24.139
 Titus was to affirm the behaviors

00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:27.779
 that naturally flow from the message of salvation.

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.659
 So he says, the saying is trustworthy.

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.339
 The gospel is truth.

00:12:32.459 --> 00:12:33.959
 This gospel of grace is the true thing.

00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:35.139
 And then he immediately says,

00:12:35.199 --> 00:12:36.079
 look back at verse eight.

00:12:36.319 --> 00:12:39.980
 He says, and I want you to insist on these things.

00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:42.279
 Well, what is these things?

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.779
 Well, it includes the gospel message,

00:12:44.939 --> 00:12:47.459
 but then it also includes the godly conduct

00:12:47.459 --> 00:12:50.240
 that's emphasized in verses one and two.

00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:52.379
 That's what begins the whole thing

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:56.379
 is godliness, holiness, Christ-likeness in the world.

00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.439
 And these behaviors involve both actions and attitudes

00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:03.100
 showing that the work of God in salvation,

00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:06.759
 it penetrates the deepest recesses of our hearts.

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.659
 It pervades all of our being

00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:13.779
 so that if we are truly saturated in the gospel of grace,

00:13:13.939 --> 00:13:17.480
 we're truly saturated in the teaching of the word of God

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.480
 as it relates to the person and the work of Christ.

00:13:20.699 --> 00:13:23.159
 The Holy Spirit in this work of renewal

00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.079
 pervades the deepest recesses of our hearts.

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.240
 It consumes our whole being

00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.719
 so that the natural overflow of the gospel

00:13:31.719 --> 00:13:34.539
 is godliness and Christ-likeness.

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:35.439
 Do you see?

00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:36.539
 Do you see?

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:39.039
 It's all connected together and it's necessary.

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.719
 And Paul says, preach the gospel

00:13:41.719 --> 00:13:45.360
 and insist on the behaviors

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.620
 that accompany the gospel message

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:50.399
 that are part and parcel to the Christian life.

00:13:51.079 --> 00:13:52.379
 And we must do that.

00:13:52.439 --> 00:13:52.719
 Why?

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.659
 Because they're excellent and profitable for people, he says.

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.659
 But what is it that makes them excellent and profitable?

00:13:59.659 --> 00:14:02.919
 Why is it that the gospel and these behaviors are profitable?

00:14:03.199 --> 00:14:04.159
 Well, he tells us here.

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.919
 The purpose of insisting on these things in verse eight,

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.779
 keeping them before the people,

00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.980
 is that in having the wonders of God's grace

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:14.459
 constantly in mind,

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:19.120
 believers will be concerned with displaying

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:22.959
 the kind of goodness and righteousness

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.800
 that shows that they have been grasped

00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:30.980
 by the transformative power of God's spirit.

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:32.460
 Do you see that there?

00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:33.580
 Just set your eyes.

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.820
 I know it's distracting this morning.

00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:36.700
 Just set your eyes with me, please, on verse eight.

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.420
 The saying is trustworthy.

00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:41.200
 I want you to insist on these things.

00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:42.080
 Why?

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:42.120
 Why?

00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.259
 So that those who have believed in God

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:50.240
 may be careful, concerned,

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:56.539
 intent on devoting themselves to good works.

00:14:58.419 --> 00:14:59.820
 Bill Mount says,

00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:01.600
 this provides yet another illustration

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.720
 of the dominant theme in Titus,

00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:08.220
 that right theology and right practice

00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:11.680
 are inextricably bound together.

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.960
 An understanding of the full plan of salvation

00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.139
 leads believers necessarily

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:20.819
 into a daily living out

00:15:20.819 --> 00:15:23.679
 of their commitment to the Lord.

00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:26.039
 That's the theme of the whole book.

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:28.720
 Preach the gospel, Titus.

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.279
 And if you see that the behaviors

00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:32.679
 have gone awry in the church,

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.500
 it's probably because the gospel

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:36.199
 isn't being emphasized in the right way.

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.120
 And by the way,

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:38.639
 watch out for the false teachers

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.840
 that are teaching something

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.879
 contrary to the gospel.

00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:42.759
 And here's how you'll know they're doing that.

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:44.539
 It's gonna show up in their behavior.

00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:46.279
 All of these things are linked together.

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.120
 But the order of this process

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.019
 cannot be lost in our understanding.

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.779
 Too many people start with the good works

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:57.220
 and then they hope that their efforts

00:15:57.220 --> 00:16:00.799
 will curry enough favor with God

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.879
 that he will find them acceptable.

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.019
 That's where we get this backwards sometimes.

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.879
 We think that God will find me acceptable

00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.559
 so long as I do the good works.

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:12.819
 But what Paul describes here,

00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.699
 the order of it is the exact opposite.

00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:17.480
 You can do your best

00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:18.740
 and you can try your hardest,

00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.420
 but it will never be enough

00:16:20.420 --> 00:16:21.600
 to atone for your sin.

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:24.500
 It will never be enough

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:28.040
 to bring you into a right relationship with God.

00:16:28.140 --> 00:16:30.759
 It can't because you can't.

00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:35.840
 This is why Jesus comes.

00:16:36.660 --> 00:16:38.580
 This is why God sends his son.

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:42.180
 Through his death on the cross,

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.660
 Jesus, who is the sinless son of God,

00:16:46.420 --> 00:16:48.860
 takes the wrath of God set against sinners.

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.420
 His sacrifice was a perfect atonement for sin.

00:16:55.420 --> 00:16:58.560
 And it is granted eternal life and forgiveness

00:16:58.560 --> 00:17:02.060
 to all who will believe and follow Christ alone.

00:17:02.059 --> 00:17:04.899
 The good works in these verses

00:17:04.899 --> 00:17:08.599
 are not our efforts to earn God's favor.

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:12.940
 They are the product of knowing that in Christ,

00:17:13.399 --> 00:17:15.639
 we already have God's favor.

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:18.779
 That's the significance of the order.

00:17:19.679 --> 00:17:21.720
 That's the significance of our witness

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.639
 so that in the way that we live our lives,

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:28.859
 we don't presume as if we are earning something from God.

00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:31.659
 We do it as an act of worship to God.

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:33.459
 And what is all of that based on?

00:17:33.899 --> 00:17:35.439
 The gospel of his grace.

00:17:35.699 --> 00:17:36.779
 We have to begin there.

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:40.459
 Titus was to insist on these things

00:17:40.459 --> 00:17:43.459
 because this is how God's spirit

00:17:43.459 --> 00:17:45.779
 does his work of regeneration and renewal.

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:49.500
 Notice what he says in verse A.

00:17:50.579 --> 00:17:53.879
 So that all those who believe in God

00:17:53.879 --> 00:17:58.619
 may be careful to devote themselves to good works.

00:17:58.859 --> 00:18:00.459
 This is a work of the spirit

00:18:00.459 --> 00:18:02.419
 that he does in those who believe.

00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.839
 These things are profitable

00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:10.119
 because as we preach the gospel to ourselves day by day,

00:18:10.659 --> 00:18:13.199
 God's grace remains our motivation

00:18:13.199 --> 00:18:15.359
 and source for good works.

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:17.240
 Okay, so that's the first thing.

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:17.759
 We'll move on.

00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.939
 He is to affirm what is profitable

00:18:19.939 --> 00:18:20.819
 and what's profitable,

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.979
 the gospel and its accompanying behaviors.

00:18:23.479 --> 00:18:26.139
 Secondly, avoid what's worthless.

00:18:26.140 --> 00:18:29.580
 Avoid what is worthless.

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:30.180
 Verse nine,

00:18:30.580 --> 00:18:32.640
 but avoid foolish controversies,

00:18:33.280 --> 00:18:34.900
 genealogies, dissensions,

00:18:35.380 --> 00:18:36.900
 quarrels about the law.

00:18:37.340 --> 00:18:37.620
 Why?

00:18:38.280 --> 00:18:41.680
 For they are unprofitable and worthless.

00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:45.500
 So just as important as affirming what is good,

00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:47.560
 a faithful pastor must recognize

00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:48.640
 and avoid those things

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.400
 that are worthless for the church.

00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.400
 In fact, knowing what things to avoid,

00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:57.200
 meaning to shun or to turn away from,

00:18:57.740 --> 00:19:01.860
 is critical to being able to focus on the gospel

00:19:01.860 --> 00:19:05.000
 and its implications in life and ministry.

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.240
 You can't have one without the other,

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.180
 which is a reminder

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:11.860
 that there's always going to be distractions in our life.

00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:13.240
 Always.

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:15.859
 There's always going to be things

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:18.960
 that pull us away from the basics of the truth of God,

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.259
 that pull us away from basic godliness

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:23.339
 and Christlikeness,

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.519
 and it's imperative

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:28.099
 that we avoid getting caught up

00:19:28.099 --> 00:19:30.859
 in unprofitable speculations.

00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:32.720
 That's the genealogies.

00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:35.720
 Arguments about tradition.

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:37.700
 That's quarrels about the law.

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:41.099
 And contentious battles over issues

00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:45.559
 that are secondary to core biblical doctrine.

00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:47.899
 That's the dissensions, the strifes.

00:19:49.679 --> 00:19:52.379
 This warning is common in the pastoral epistles.

00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:54.319
 Think of 1 Timothy 1.

00:19:55.179 --> 00:19:55.879
 He tells Timothy,

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:57.299
 charge certain persons

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:59.199
 not to teach any different doctrine,

00:19:59.399 --> 00:20:01.599
 nor to devote themselves to myths

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.559
 and endless genealogies

00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.259
 which promote speculations

00:20:06.259 --> 00:20:08.899
 rather than the stewardship from God

00:20:08.899 --> 00:20:10.139
 that is by faith.

00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:11.959
 1 Timothy 4.

00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:14.919
 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths.

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:17.480
 Rather, train yourself for godliness.

00:20:17.899 --> 00:20:19.399
 2 Timothy 2.23.

00:20:19.639 --> 00:20:21.339
 Have nothing to do with foolish,

00:20:21.719 --> 00:20:22.959
 ignorant controversies.

00:20:22.959 --> 00:20:24.980
 You know that they breed what?

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:26.579
 Quarrels.

00:20:27.219 --> 00:20:28.139
 Worthless ones.

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.699
 Foolish ones.

00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:33.419
 Now, we must acknowledge here

00:20:33.419 --> 00:20:35.179
 that this is not a call

00:20:35.179 --> 00:20:37.839
 for us to avoid controversy.

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.339
 It is a call for us to avoid

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:43.819
 a certain kind of controversy.

00:20:44.679 --> 00:20:46.079
 Because the fact is,

00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:47.039
 not only for a pastor,

00:20:47.139 --> 00:20:48.199
 but for any Christian,

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.279
 we must be willing to engage,

00:20:51.439 --> 00:20:53.779
 engage in certain controversial issues

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:55.919
 as they relate to gospel fidelity

00:20:55.919 --> 00:20:58.279
 and defending the word of God.

00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.879
 And to avoid controversy at all costs

00:21:01.879 --> 00:21:04.279
 would necessitate failing

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.660
 to affirm what's good

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.920
 and what's profitable for the people.

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:13.139
 The particular issues at work in Crete

00:21:13.139 --> 00:21:14.819
 had to do with myths

00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:17.079
 and traditions and speculations

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.240
 derived from Judaism.

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.480
 We see that in chapter one.

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:21.359
 You can go back and read that later.

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.939
 But the primary reason

00:21:23.939 --> 00:21:26.659
 given for avoiding such things

00:21:26.659 --> 00:21:29.299
 is that they are unprofitable.

00:21:30.159 --> 00:21:31.219
 They're worthless.

00:21:32.179 --> 00:21:33.659
 They're not helpful.

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:36.019
 They're not edifying.

00:21:36.679 --> 00:21:38.699
 They're not actually doing anything good

00:21:38.699 --> 00:21:40.479
 for the people or for the church.

00:21:40.679 --> 00:21:41.819
 Are they intriguing?

00:21:42.939 --> 00:21:43.359
 Maybe.

00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.519
 Are they fun to argue and debate?

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:49.000
 Perhaps.

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:50.959
 Are they helpful?

00:21:52.099 --> 00:21:53.059
 Not at all.

00:21:53.899 --> 00:21:54.619
 They're not.

00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.199
 And loved ones,

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:59.939
 this is what we must do

00:21:59.939 --> 00:22:01.079
 if we're going to discern

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.399
 whether or not any given issue

00:22:03.399 --> 00:22:04.679
 is worth our engagement.

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:06.679
 We must determine,

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.339
 is this profitable

00:22:08.339 --> 00:22:11.039
 or is this worthless?

00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:13.819
 And you don't have to go very far

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:16.119
 to find illustrations for this.

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:17.479
 Just yesterday,

00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:18.539
 I was sitting on the couch

00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:19.859
 flipping through YouTube.

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:21.459
 And in a five-minute

00:22:21.459 --> 00:22:22.500
 flipping through YouTube,

00:22:22.719 --> 00:22:24.159
 there's two different videos

00:22:24.159 --> 00:22:25.699
 that fit this description perfectly.

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:27.579
 One was a sermon from a church

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:28.419
 I'm not familiar with,

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.459
 maybe a Calvary Chapel

00:22:29.459 --> 00:22:30.359
 or something like that somewhere.

00:22:30.439 --> 00:22:31.819
 I can't remember exactly where it was.

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:38.159
 And the sermon was steeped in speculation

00:22:38.159 --> 00:22:40.299
 relating to the book of Revelation.

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:42.539
 And the title of the sermon

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:45.579
 was about Russia invading the rest of the world.

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:47.139
 It's just,

00:22:47.399 --> 00:22:50.099
 it's unhelpful speculation.

00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:51.639
 It's unhelpful.

00:22:51.659 --> 00:22:52.559
 That's not helping anyone.

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:54.919
 That's hurting the cause of Christ.

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:55.819
 That's not helping it.

00:22:56.859 --> 00:22:57.740
 I'll go a little bit further.

00:22:57.859 --> 00:22:58.720
 Here's another video.

00:22:59.399 --> 00:23:00.720
 It's a girl who has determined

00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:01.980
 a secret code

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:03.539
 in the genealogies

00:23:03.539 --> 00:23:05.399
 of the book of Genesis.

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:07.559
 And in discerning

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.659
 all the meanings of the names,

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:10.419
 if you put them in just the right order

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:13.100
 and you say just the right words

00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:14.519
 and then you spin around three times

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:15.340
 and blow up in the air,

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:16.240
 all of a sudden,

00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:18.279
 you have this mystical knowledge.

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.019
 And that's really what,

00:23:20.120 --> 00:23:21.300
 look, this stuff is everywhere.

00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:22.560
 It's everywhere.

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:24.140
 Sometimes it's subtle.

00:23:25.060 --> 00:23:27.620
 Which is why Paul has to warn even Titus

00:23:27.620 --> 00:23:29.259
 and just remind him,

00:23:29.860 --> 00:23:31.860
 don't get caught up in this stuff, Titus.

00:23:32.820 --> 00:23:34.820
 Don't get caught up in the foolishness.

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.519
 Don't get caught up in

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:39.019
 the speculation

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:40.940
 and the arguments

00:23:40.940 --> 00:23:42.839
 over things that are just

00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.099
 dumb and unhelpful,

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.859
 which any of us

00:23:47.859 --> 00:23:48.879
 can be guilty of doing.

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.799
 If it means standing firm

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:52.720
 on the word of God,

00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:54.539
 defending the gospel of grace

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:55.579
 through Jesus alone,

00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:58.180
 urging believers to live in godliness,

00:23:58.339 --> 00:23:59.139
 then it's profitable

00:23:59.139 --> 00:24:00.940
 and we must enter the fray.

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:01.940
 We must.

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:04.920
 But if it's needless speculation

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:06.559
 about the nature and timing

00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:07.460
 of Christ's return,

00:24:07.639 --> 00:24:08.680
 then it's unhelpful.

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:10.779
 If it involves traditions

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:11.980
 and commands of men

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:13.259
 or matters of conscience

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:15.259
 that spur disunity,

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:16.779
 we must avoid it.

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:19.019
 If it leads to foolish argumentation

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:22.440
 or quibbling over non-essential issues,

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:25.319
 we must refuse to be carried away by it.

00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.740
 If we're to be a faithful church,

00:24:28.019 --> 00:24:29.639
 we must be wise

00:24:29.639 --> 00:24:31.259
 about what is profitable

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:32.799
 and what is worthless

00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.779
 and ultimately dishonoring

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:36.039
 to the Lord.

00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:37.799
 we remember,

00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:39.940
 as is a common statement,

00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:40.879
 the main things

00:24:40.879 --> 00:24:42.019
 are the plain things

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:43.259
 and the plain things

00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:44.159
 are the main things

00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:44.680
 in the scripture.

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.899
 We need to remember that.

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.980
 Don't consume yourself

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:50.319
 with pet doctrines

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.759
 or act as if every point

00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:53.539
 of disagreement

00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:54.480
 is necessary

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.659
 to express

00:24:55.659 --> 00:24:58.539
 because it's not.

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:02.879
 Not only will you exasperate

00:25:02.879 --> 00:25:03.899
 the people around you,

00:25:04.659 --> 00:25:06.599
 you'll lose the profitability

00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:07.679
 of the gospel

00:25:07.679 --> 00:25:10.220
 because you're not avoiding

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.200
 the things that really

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.079
 must be avoided.

00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:14.679
 Third and finally,

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.419
 address those

00:25:16.419 --> 00:25:17.299
 who cause division.

00:25:18.199 --> 00:25:19.460
 Affirm what's profitable.

00:25:20.460 --> 00:25:21.679
 Avoid what's worthless.

00:25:22.879 --> 00:25:23.679
 Address those

00:25:23.679 --> 00:25:24.559
 who cause division.

00:25:25.439 --> 00:25:25.919
 Verse 10,

00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:28.379
 as for a person

00:25:28.379 --> 00:25:29.500
 who stirs up division,

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:32.000
 after warning him once

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.759
 and then twice,

00:25:33.419 --> 00:25:34.480
 have nothing more

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:35.220
 to do with him.

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.099
 Knowing that such a person

00:25:38.099 --> 00:25:38.879
 is warped,

00:25:39.879 --> 00:25:40.259
 sinful,

00:25:40.259 --> 00:25:40.379
 sinful.

00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.480
 He is self-condemned.

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:46.839
 This is the hardest part

00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:47.400
 of the whole thing,

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:47.759
 isn't it?

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.059
 If you're just a normal person

00:25:49.059 --> 00:25:50.079
 that doesn't particularly

00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.000
 enjoy confrontation.

00:25:51.579 --> 00:25:53.019
 There are those weird people

00:25:53.019 --> 00:25:53.400
 out there,

00:25:53.460 --> 00:25:54.180
 maybe you're one of them

00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:55.720
 that enjoy just to fight

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.339
 all the time.

00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:58.500
 For most of us,

00:25:58.539 --> 00:25:59.640
 this is the difficult one.

00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:01.680
 You can handle

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.519
 preaching the truth,

00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:05.220
 affirming what's right.

00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:06.900
 It's not very hard

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:07.879
 for you to avoid

00:26:07.879 --> 00:26:08.819
 contentious matters.

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:11.119
 But when it comes to

00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:12.200
 actually actively

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:13.419
 addressing error,

00:26:13.859 --> 00:26:14.799
 it's much more difficult

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.419
 for us to do,

00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:15.799
 isn't it?

00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:18.279
 And in this final portion,

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:19.899
 Paul presents

00:26:19.899 --> 00:26:21.419
 an inevitable situation

00:26:21.419 --> 00:26:23.059
 and the only proper

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:23.899
 response to it.

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:26.480
 The situation involves

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.279
 an individual

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.179
 actively causing

00:26:29.179 --> 00:26:30.599
 division in the church,

00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:32.639
 specifically by

00:26:32.639 --> 00:26:34.079
 affirming doctrines

00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:34.879
 and behaviors

00:26:34.879 --> 00:26:36.279
 that are contrary

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:37.720
 to the trustworthy word.

00:26:38.139 --> 00:26:39.359
 This isn't division

00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:40.960
 of personality necessarily.

00:26:41.139 --> 00:26:41.619
 This is not

00:26:41.619 --> 00:26:43.460
 simple things

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:43.960
 that are really

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.740
 inconsequential

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:45.500
 in the big picture

00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:46.500
 of the health

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:46.980
 of the church.

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:48.039
 These are things

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:48.740
 that are actively

00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:49.859
 dividing the church

00:26:49.859 --> 00:26:51.099
 in relation to the gospel

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:52.579
 and the behaviors

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:53.480
 that flow from it

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.559
 that he's just discussed.

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.579
 And the only proper response

00:26:57.579 --> 00:26:58.720
 to such a situation

00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:00.420
 is to follow

00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:01.279
 the biblical process

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.480
 of church discipline.

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:06.660
 Because it's not enough

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:07.700
 for a pastor

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:08.779
 to affirm the truth

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:09.779
 and avoid distractions.

00:27:10.399 --> 00:27:11.720
 It is basic

00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:13.279
 to faithful ministry

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:14.420
 that a pastor

00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:15.720
 leads the church

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:17.519
 in the critical practice

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:18.259
 of discipline

00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:19.500
 when it's necessary.

00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:23.019
 Because a church

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:23.899
 cannot be healthy

00:27:23.899 --> 00:27:24.859
 and fruitful

00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:25.779
 while tolerating

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:26.359
 individuals

00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:27.859
 who trouble the people

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:29.099
 with false doctrine

00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:29.599
 and sin.

00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:31.419
 Such a person

00:27:31.419 --> 00:27:32.859
 must be confronted

00:27:32.859 --> 00:27:34.219
 and they must be confronted

00:27:34.219 --> 00:27:35.179
 for their own good.

00:27:35.439 --> 00:27:36.399
 They must be confronted

00:27:36.399 --> 00:27:37.039
 for the health

00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:37.619
 of the church

00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:39.039
 and they must be confronted

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.839
 for the witness

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.719
 of God's people

00:27:40.719 --> 00:27:41.439
 to the world

00:27:41.439 --> 00:27:42.419
 which in the beginning

00:27:42.419 --> 00:27:43.819
 of this chapter

00:27:43.819 --> 00:27:44.779
 in those first two verses

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:46.259
 is the central issue.

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:47.519
 Is our witness

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:48.339
 to the world.

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:52.519
 I'll save a fuller discussion

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:53.319
 for church discipline

00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:54.119
 for another day.

00:27:54.199 --> 00:27:55.259
 You'll be grateful for that.

00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:56.119
 But let me just

00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:57.459
 touch on it

00:27:57.459 --> 00:27:58.139
 as we consider

00:27:58.139 --> 00:27:59.240
 Paul's instruction here.

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:01.759
 There's two categories

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:02.459
 that we think of

00:28:02.459 --> 00:28:03.679
 when it comes to church discipline.

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:04.939
 You don't have to remember

00:28:04.939 --> 00:28:05.399
 these words

00:28:05.399 --> 00:28:06.699
 but it will be helpful

00:28:06.699 --> 00:28:07.559
 for you to remember

00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:08.419
 the category.

00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.119
 First is formative discipline.

00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:11.819
 We would call it

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.619
 formative discipline.

00:28:12.959 --> 00:28:13.519
 You are under

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:14.559
 formative discipline

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:15.559
 right now.

00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:18.359
 It is that daily process

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:18.759
 whereby

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:20.259
 through the word,

00:28:20.459 --> 00:28:21.139
 through prayer,

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:22.339
 through discipling,

00:28:22.639 --> 00:28:23.579
 God shapes us

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:24.539
 and he molds us

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:25.579
 and he chisels us

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:27.139
 and he builds us up

00:28:27.139 --> 00:28:29.079
 into the Christians

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.279
 that he would have us to be.

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:31.439
 He makes us more and more

00:28:31.439 --> 00:28:32.480
 like the person of Christ.

00:28:32.699 --> 00:28:33.759
 It's not corrective

00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:34.740
 in nature necessarily.

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:36.000
 It's just constantly

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.539
 we're learning

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:37.240
 and we're growing

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.019
 and we're maturing.

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.319
 It's formative discipline.

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:40.339
 If you remove

00:28:40.339 --> 00:28:41.199
 certain elements

00:28:41.199 --> 00:28:42.299
 what we might would call

00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:43.339
 the ordinary means of grace

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:43.500
 even.

00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:44.220
 If you move

00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:45.199
 certain elements

00:28:45.199 --> 00:28:45.879
 it's going to stunt

00:28:45.879 --> 00:28:46.439
 that growth.

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:48.059
 We need the formative discipline.

00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:49.299
 We need preaching.

00:28:49.939 --> 00:28:50.659
 You need it.

00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:52.419
 Not necessarily for me.

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.000
 You need it.

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:53.819
 You just need it.

00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:54.720
 You need good preaching.

00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:56.900
 You need discipleship.

00:28:57.539 --> 00:28:59.059
 You need people around you.

00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:00.680
 Iron sharpening iron.

00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:02.259
 You can't live in isolation.

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:03.720
 It will stunt your growth.

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.299
 You need the formative discipline.

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:08.500
 You need the ordinances.

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.500
 You need to witness baptism

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:12.000
 as we witnessed it last week

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:13.559
 to be reminded of the gospel.

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:15.160
 You need communion.

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:16.180
 You need to prioritize

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.799
 of every Sunday in the month

00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.220
 that first Sunday

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:20.460
 must be your priority

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:21.680
 because that's the day

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:22.920
 when we gather around the table.

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.799
 It's formative.

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:25.359
 It's helpful to us.

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:26.579
 It's profitable for us.

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:27.640
 So that's part of it.

00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:28.640
 That's not what Paul's

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:29.400
 dealing with here though.

00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:30.539
 Here he's dealing

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:31.819
 with corrective discipline.

00:29:32.819 --> 00:29:33.880
 And corrective discipline

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:35.960
 which is the formal process

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:37.460
 of confronting a person

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:39.039
 in error or in sin.

00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:42.059
 To modern sensibilities

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:44.319
 comes across as harsh

00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:44.980
 and unkind.

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:47.279
 We're not conditioned

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.960
 by our culture

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.799
 to think that this is

00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:49.759
 an appropriate thing.

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.220
 But the Bible's

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:53.359
 not unclear about this.

00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:55.559
 It's not unclear

00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:56.319
 about it at all.

00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:58.059
 And as a church

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:59.000
 we need to be careful

00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:00.140
 to observe it

00:30:00.140 --> 00:30:01.940
 and to remember it.

00:30:02.579 --> 00:30:03.200
 Three things

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:03.819
 I want to point out

00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:04.480
 to you about it

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.680
 that not only are true

00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:06.900
 about it in this text

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:07.799
 but are true about it

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.660
 throughout the New Testament.

00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:09.920
 I'll make them simple for you.

00:30:10.099 --> 00:30:10.599
 The first thing

00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:11.319
 I want you to see

00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:12.220
 the people

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:13.700
 that are to be disciplined.

00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.079
 The people

00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:16.160
 that are to be disciplined.

00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:17.000
 Verse 10

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.880
 As for a person

00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.140
 who stirs up division.

00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.360
 A specific type of person

00:30:24.360 --> 00:30:25.160
 is mentioned here.

00:30:26.040 --> 00:30:27.200
 Not only holds

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:28.320
 aberrant beliefs

00:30:28.320 --> 00:30:30.140
 but is deliberately

00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:32.320
 troubling the congregation

00:30:32.320 --> 00:30:33.980
 regarding those beliefs.

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:35.300
 That's significant

00:30:35.300 --> 00:30:36.480
 to what Paul's addressing

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.500
 and to why he's urging

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:39.660
 this type of discipline.

00:30:40.860 --> 00:30:41.720
 These people

00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:42.920
 are pot stirrers.

00:30:43.259 --> 00:30:44.160
 You know what I mean by that?

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.100
 They throw things out there

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:46.980
 just because they like

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.920
 to see the conflict

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.660
 that ensues

00:30:48.660 --> 00:30:49.680
 as a result of it.

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:51.800
 They're pot stirrers

00:30:51.800 --> 00:30:52.440
 by nature.

00:30:52.620 --> 00:30:53.600
 Their actions

00:30:53.600 --> 00:30:54.820
 cripple the church.

00:30:55.340 --> 00:30:56.320
 It leads people

00:30:56.320 --> 00:30:57.380
 away from the gospel.

00:30:57.540 --> 00:30:58.240
 It leads them away

00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:58.900
 from holiness.

00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:00.140
 And it's not just

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:00.740
 that they hold

00:31:00.740 --> 00:31:02.000
 diverse views

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.140
 on secondary issues.

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:07.180
 As described

00:31:07.180 --> 00:31:08.140
 in chapter 1

00:31:08.140 --> 00:31:09.759
 they're insubordinate

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.620
 to the truth.

00:31:11.420 --> 00:31:12.240
 They insist

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:12.960
 on worthless

00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:14.080
 and harmful ideas.

00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:15.220
 They upset

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:16.580
 entire families

00:31:16.580 --> 00:31:18.140
 through their errant doctrine.

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:19.540
 They prove themselves

00:31:19.540 --> 00:31:20.720
 in verse 11

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:21.680
 to be warped

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:22.820
 and sinful

00:31:22.820 --> 00:31:24.180
 and their behavior

00:31:24.180 --> 00:31:25.259
 condemns them

00:31:25.259 --> 00:31:26.279
 before God

00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:27.440
 and before the church.

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.480
 And Paul says

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.120
 you cannot tolerate this.

00:31:30.380 --> 00:31:31.340
 You cannot just

00:31:31.340 --> 00:31:32.300
 let this go.

00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:33.480
 You must deal

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:33.940
 with this

00:31:33.940 --> 00:31:34.820
 in the church.

00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:36.460
 Titus chapter 1

00:31:36.460 --> 00:31:37.240
 in verse 16

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:37.940
 they profess

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:39.180
 to know God

00:31:39.180 --> 00:31:40.320
 but they deny

00:31:40.320 --> 00:31:41.480
 him by their works.

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:43.039
 not just the way

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:43.500
 that they live

00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:43.960
 in the world

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.420
 but the way

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:44.940
 that they live

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.960
 in the church.

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:48.480
 They profess God.

00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.779
 They profess Christ

00:31:49.779 --> 00:31:50.640
 but they do not

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:51.880
 display Christ.

00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:53.480
 They are detestable

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:54.180
 Paul says.

00:31:54.339 --> 00:31:55.500
 They're disobedient.

00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:56.660
 They're unfit

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:58.140
 for any good work.

00:31:58.720 --> 00:31:59.980
 That's strong language.

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:01.259
 So Paul's not

00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:01.759
 dealing with

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.380
 he's not saying

00:32:02.380 --> 00:32:03.819
 just nitpick

00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:04.740
 people to death.

00:32:05.579 --> 00:32:06.420
 He's not saying

00:32:06.420 --> 00:32:07.500
 scrutinize

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:08.380
 one another's lives

00:32:08.380 --> 00:32:08.980
 and find

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:10.120
 every possible thing

00:32:10.120 --> 00:32:10.839
 that you can find

00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:11.279
 that's wrong

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:11.740
 with everybody

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:12.380
 in the church

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:13.420
 and if they don't

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:14.480
 listen to your opinion

00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:14.920
 about it

00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:15.680
 you better bring them

00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:16.519
 before the church

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.960
 and get them out of here.

00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:19.319
 That's not what Paul's saying.

00:32:19.579 --> 00:32:20.220
 He's addressing

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:21.400
 a specific type

00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:22.319
 of person.

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:23.480
 We need to remember that.

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:24.360
 Two.

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:26.539
 The process of discipline.

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:28.279
 How does this process

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:29.240
 actually work?

00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:30.880
 After warning him

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.360
 verse 10

00:32:31.360 --> 00:32:31.900
 once

00:32:31.900 --> 00:32:33.299
 and then twice

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:34.940
 have nothing more

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:35.680
 to do with him.

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:38.380
 Jesus is the one

00:32:38.380 --> 00:32:39.339
 that gives these parameters.

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.200
 Matthew 18

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.079
 If your brother

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:44.160
 sins against you

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:45.900
 go and tell him

00:32:45.900 --> 00:32:46.480
 his fault

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:47.620
 between you

00:32:47.620 --> 00:32:48.860
 and him alone.

00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:50.740
 That's the first step.

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:52.640
 If he listens to you

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:54.019
 you've gained your brother.

00:32:55.339 --> 00:32:56.440
 And what a wonderful

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:57.259
 thing that would be.

00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:58.380
 Isn't that the intention

00:32:58.380 --> 00:32:59.160
 of all of this?

00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:00.600
 We see error

00:33:00.600 --> 00:33:01.040
 in somebody

00:33:01.040 --> 00:33:02.240
 whether it's doctrinal error

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:03.000
 or whether it's

00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:04.240
 a particular sin

00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:04.880
 and we say

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:05.980
 hey let's grab coffee

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:06.500
 this week

00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:07.700
 or maybe we meet together

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:08.460
 on a different thing

00:33:08.460 --> 00:33:08.900
 and you just

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:09.759
 you kind of gently

00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:10.540
 spur them along

00:33:10.540 --> 00:33:10.940
 and just say

00:33:10.940 --> 00:33:12.420
 hey I noticed this thing

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:13.040
 or you said this

00:33:13.040 --> 00:33:13.940
 the other day

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:15.120
 I think you really

00:33:15.120 --> 00:33:16.160
 need to think about this

00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:16.980
 I think you're in error

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:18.100
 I think you're in sin

00:33:18.099 --> 00:33:20.980
 and I think

00:33:20.980 --> 00:33:22.059
 nine times out of ten

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:22.799
 that's what the Lord

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.399
 uses to restore someone

00:33:24.399 --> 00:33:25.159
 right?

00:33:25.379 --> 00:33:26.159
 That's the first step.

00:33:26.379 --> 00:33:26.859
 Jesus says

00:33:26.859 --> 00:33:27.480
 that's what you do

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.439
 and then he says though

00:33:28.439 --> 00:33:28.839
 he said

00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:29.679
 but if you won't listen

00:33:29.679 --> 00:33:31.319
 they're unrepentant

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:33.539
 go back

00:33:33.539 --> 00:33:35.099
 but this time

00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:36.179
 take one or two others

00:33:36.179 --> 00:33:36.879
 with you

00:33:36.879 --> 00:33:39.059
 so that every charge

00:33:39.059 --> 00:33:39.980
 may be established

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:40.859
 by the evidence

00:33:40.859 --> 00:33:42.559
 of two or three witnesses.

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:44.559
 Now why is that all about?

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:46.960
 It is not only

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:47.759
 for accountability

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.619
 it's to make sure

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:49.279
 that I'm not just

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:50.099
 nitpicking somebody

00:33:50.099 --> 00:33:50.740
 to death right?

00:33:51.179 --> 00:33:52.440
 Because that could be the case.

00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:54.299
 There's a protection here right?

00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:55.859
 That there's just not somebody

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:56.940
 that's just cantankerous

00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:57.659
 that's just giving everybody

00:33:57.659 --> 00:33:58.240
 a hard time.

00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:59.339
 So now you go with

00:33:59.339 --> 00:34:00.399
 probably leaders

00:34:00.399 --> 00:34:00.879
 in the church

00:34:00.879 --> 00:34:01.379
 at this point

00:34:01.379 --> 00:34:01.899
 you go with

00:34:01.899 --> 00:34:02.940
 with a couple of others

00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:04.379
 it establishes the witness

00:34:04.379 --> 00:34:05.960
 there is record

00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:07.119
 but then it lets

00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.360
 the offending person

00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:08.639
 know

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:10.059
 okay there's a seriousness

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:10.659
 to this

00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:12.039
 because it's not just Jared

00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:13.119
 who has a problem

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.719
 with what I'm doing

00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:14.480
 there's actually

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:15.639
 significant people

00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:16.440
 that I respect

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:16.900
 in the church

00:34:16.900 --> 00:34:17.539
 that are actually

00:34:17.539 --> 00:34:18.619
 they actually think

00:34:18.619 --> 00:34:19.219
 the same thing

00:34:19.219 --> 00:34:20.840
 I need to think about this

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:22.460
 something the Lord uses right?

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:24.300
 But then Jesus says

00:34:24.300 --> 00:34:25.800
 what if he doesn't listen?

00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:26.500
 What if he still

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:27.480
 is unrepentant?

00:34:27.539 --> 00:34:27.840
 He says

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:28.940
 we continue on

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:29.739
 in Matthew 18

00:34:29.739 --> 00:34:31.480
 if he refuses

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:32.679
 to listen to them

00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.400
 tell it to the church.

00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:36.820
 This is the point

00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:38.059
 at where Paul is

00:34:38.059 --> 00:34:39.340
 in his instructions

00:34:39.340 --> 00:34:39.840
 to Titus

00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:40.800
 you bring it

00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:41.539
 to the congregation

00:34:41.539 --> 00:34:42.880
 now why would you do that?

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:45.059
 Because it lets

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:45.900
 the offending party

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:46.259
 know

00:34:46.259 --> 00:34:47.880
 this is serious

00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:50.380
 and the whole

00:34:50.380 --> 00:34:51.519
 congregation then

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.340
 is to woo

00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:54.219
 that person

00:34:54.219 --> 00:34:55.699
 persuade them

00:34:55.699 --> 00:34:57.300
 in whatever way possible

00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:58.300
 to repent

00:34:58.300 --> 00:34:59.759
 believe

00:34:59.759 --> 00:35:02.519
 alter course

00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:04.039
 turn from their error

00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:07.099
 and what if they don't

00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:08.059
 listen to the church?

00:35:08.059 --> 00:35:09.139
 Jesus says

00:35:09.139 --> 00:35:10.799
 let them be to you

00:35:10.799 --> 00:35:11.579
 as a Gentile

00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:12.400
 and a tax collector

00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:13.159
 let them be to you

00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:13.880
 as an unbeliever

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:15.059
 so that if we understand

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:15.719
 church membership

00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:16.340
 the right way

00:35:16.340 --> 00:35:17.059
 the way we're supposed

00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:17.539
 to view that

00:35:17.539 --> 00:35:18.039
 in the Bible

00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:19.719
 it's not that the church

00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.139
 declares that a person

00:35:22.139 --> 00:35:22.900
 is a Christian

00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:23.659
 or not a Christian

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:24.980
 that's not the authority

00:35:24.980 --> 00:35:25.360
 we have

00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:26.159
 that authority belongs

00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:26.579
 to Christ

00:35:26.579 --> 00:35:27.380
 and to Christ alone

00:35:27.380 --> 00:35:28.840
 but in so far

00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:29.440
 as a person

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:30.199
 makes a credible

00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:31.179
 profession of faith

00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:32.099
 and their life

00:35:32.099 --> 00:35:33.440
 matches that profession

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:34.699
 the church says

00:35:34.699 --> 00:35:36.159
 you are one of us

00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:36.759
 we welcome you

00:35:36.759 --> 00:35:37.679
 to the table of the Lord

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.319
 we welcome you

00:35:38.319 --> 00:35:38.839
 in baptism

00:35:38.839 --> 00:35:39.799
 we rejoice with you

00:35:39.799 --> 00:35:41.059
 we will enter in this

00:35:41.059 --> 00:35:42.119
 covenant relationship

00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:42.599
 together

00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:43.879
 church discipline then

00:35:43.879 --> 00:35:44.599
 is the congregation

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:45.359
 itself

00:35:45.359 --> 00:35:46.500
 looking at a person

00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:46.960
 and saying

00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:48.379
 we hear your profession

00:35:48.379 --> 00:35:50.739
 but we can no longer

00:35:50.739 --> 00:35:51.699
 in good conscience

00:35:51.699 --> 00:35:53.879
 hold your profession

00:35:53.879 --> 00:35:54.599
 as credible

00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:57.019
 you're unrepentant

00:35:57.019 --> 00:35:57.579
 you're in error

00:35:57.579 --> 00:35:58.779
 you're denying the gospel

00:35:58.779 --> 00:36:00.399
 therefore

00:36:00.399 --> 00:36:02.379
 it will be necessary

00:36:02.379 --> 00:36:03.199
 unless you repent

00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:04.179
 for us to dismiss you

00:36:04.179 --> 00:36:04.859
 from our fellowship

00:36:04.860 --> 00:36:06.559
 not to cut them off

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:07.120
 completely

00:36:07.120 --> 00:36:08.000
 so that you never

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:08.720
 see them again

00:36:08.720 --> 00:36:09.980
 and you're hateful

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:10.380
 towards them

00:36:10.380 --> 00:36:10.680
 no

00:36:10.680 --> 00:36:12.160
 it's to just treat them

00:36:12.160 --> 00:36:13.200
 that now you're an unbeliever

00:36:13.200 --> 00:36:14.099
 you can't come to the table

00:36:14.099 --> 00:36:14.400
 now

00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.360
 this is for believers

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:18.360
 it's not for you

00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:19.220
 to lead in the church

00:36:19.220 --> 00:36:19.800
 it's not for you

00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:20.660
 to teach in the church

00:36:20.660 --> 00:36:21.620
 you're welcome to attend

00:36:21.620 --> 00:36:22.820
 but you gotta stop

00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:23.500
 with what you're doing

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:25.780
 that's the thing

00:36:25.780 --> 00:36:27.039
 Jesus is setting forth here

00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:28.340
 and this is the process

00:36:28.340 --> 00:36:29.559
 that Paul is instructing

00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:30.620
 Titus to follow

00:36:30.620 --> 00:36:32.820
 after warning them twice

00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:34.320
 allowing ample time

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:34.940
 for repentance

00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:36.140
 give them over

00:36:36.140 --> 00:36:36.820
 to the discipline

00:36:36.820 --> 00:36:37.500
 of the congregation

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:39.120
 and at that point

00:36:39.120 --> 00:36:40.580
 they are to be dismissed

00:36:40.580 --> 00:36:41.400
 from the church

00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:42.280
 and their influence

00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:43.100
 is to be removed

00:36:43.100 --> 00:36:45.039
 and the elders

00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:45.660
 of the church

00:36:45.660 --> 00:36:46.580
 are to take the lead

00:36:46.580 --> 00:36:47.080
 in this

00:36:47.080 --> 00:36:49.700
 but according to Jesus

00:36:49.700 --> 00:36:51.860
 it is finally

00:36:51.860 --> 00:36:53.140
 the congregation's

00:36:53.140 --> 00:36:53.940
 responsibility

00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:56.059
 to excommunicate

00:36:56.059 --> 00:36:57.280
 someone from the fellowship

00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:58.820
 that is to treat them

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:00.039
 as an unbeliever

00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.360
 it's not my job

00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:02.960
 to determine

00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:03.800
 who belongs

00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:04.360
 and who doesn't

00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:06.340
 it's our job

00:37:06.340 --> 00:37:07.159
 to do that

00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:08.239
 we do that together

00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:09.880
 it's our responsibility

00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:11.039
 taking ownership

00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:12.059
 of our own congregation

00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:12.500
 okay

00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:13.139
 that was longer

00:37:13.139 --> 00:37:13.940
 than I anticipated

00:37:13.940 --> 00:37:14.800
 so first

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:15.739
 we have

00:37:15.739 --> 00:37:17.079
 the people

00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:18.159
 to be disciplined

00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:19.039
 we have the process

00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:20.219
 of corrective discipline

00:37:20.219 --> 00:37:20.980
 thirdly

00:37:20.980 --> 00:37:21.779
 we have the purpose

00:37:21.779 --> 00:37:22.099
 of it

00:37:22.099 --> 00:37:22.739
 what is the

00:37:22.739 --> 00:37:23.659
 what's the whole purpose

00:37:23.659 --> 00:37:24.320
 of all of this

00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:26.740
 we go back

00:37:26.740 --> 00:37:28.140
 to verse 10

00:37:28.140 --> 00:37:29.200
 after warning him

00:37:29.200 --> 00:37:30.059
 once and then twice

00:37:30.059 --> 00:37:31.580
 what's that all about

00:37:31.580 --> 00:37:32.940
 why not just say

00:37:32.940 --> 00:37:33.240
 hey

00:37:33.240 --> 00:37:33.640
 you're

00:37:33.640 --> 00:37:35.440
 you're a reprobate

00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:36.500
 you can't come here anymore

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:38.840
 the process

00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.800
 was established

00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:40.480
 by Jesus

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:41.220
 and carried out

00:37:41.220 --> 00:37:42.019
 by the apostles

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:44.460
 to protect the church

00:37:44.460 --> 00:37:45.360
 teach the church

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:46.800
 and then to turn

00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:47.240
 the sinner

00:37:47.240 --> 00:37:48.480
 from the error

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:50.280
 to the grace of God

00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.260
 it's

00:37:52.260 --> 00:37:52.920
 this process

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.860
 is not about judgment

00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:55.539
 it's not about condemnation

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:56.980
 Christ is judge

00:37:56.980 --> 00:37:58.840
 it's about restoring

00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.099
 someone you love

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:01.980
 and striving

00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:02.720
 for the purity

00:38:02.720 --> 00:38:03.599
 of God's people

00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:05.980
 because sin and error

00:38:05.980 --> 00:38:06.800
 must be confronted

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:07.860
 but its purpose

00:38:07.860 --> 00:38:09.380
 is to see the individual

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:10.059
 restored

00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:11.340
 to grace

00:38:11.340 --> 00:38:13.480
 and to carry out

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:14.280
 such a practice

00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:15.000
 with the spirit

00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:15.620
 of pride

00:38:15.620 --> 00:38:16.800
 or vengeance

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:18.180
 is to sin

00:38:18.180 --> 00:38:19.000
 against God

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:21.620
 and it is to risk

00:38:21.620 --> 00:38:23.039
 destroying one

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:24.440
 for whom Christ

00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:25.039
 died

00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:27.400
 so the church

00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:28.340
 must take it serious

00:38:28.340 --> 00:38:29.599
 but they must also

00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:30.599
 have the right intention

00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:31.079
 and spirit

00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:32.539
 or you shouldn't do it

00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:34.179
 Galatians 6

00:38:34.179 --> 00:38:34.779
 and verse 1

00:38:34.779 --> 00:38:35.300
 brothers

00:38:35.300 --> 00:38:36.259
 if anyone is caught

00:38:36.259 --> 00:38:37.259
 in any transgression

00:38:37.259 --> 00:38:38.960
 you who are spiritual

00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:40.779
 should restore him

00:38:40.779 --> 00:38:42.039
 in the spirit

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:43.759
 of gentleness

00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.380
 humbly keeping watch

00:38:46.380 --> 00:38:46.980
 of yourself

00:38:46.980 --> 00:38:47.960
 lest you too

00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:49.320
 are tempted

00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:52.260
 to Timothy 2

00:38:52.260 --> 00:38:53.080
 and the Lord's servant

00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:54.180
 must not be quarrelsome

00:38:54.180 --> 00:38:54.900
 but kind

00:38:54.900 --> 00:38:55.700
 to everyone

00:38:55.700 --> 00:38:56.580
 able to teach

00:38:56.580 --> 00:38:57.580
 patiently

00:38:57.580 --> 00:38:58.820
 enduring evil

00:38:58.820 --> 00:39:00.160
 so that this discipline

00:39:00.160 --> 00:39:01.380
 process is a long

00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:02.860
 process in many occasions

00:39:02.860 --> 00:39:04.420
 patiently enduring evil

00:39:04.420 --> 00:39:05.760
 correcting his opponents

00:39:05.760 --> 00:39:06.760
 with gentleness

00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:08.780
 God may perhaps

00:39:08.780 --> 00:39:09.980
 grant them repentance

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:12.099
 leading to a knowledge

00:39:12.099 --> 00:39:12.719
 of the truth

00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:13.800
 and they may come

00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:14.619
 to their senses

00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:15.639
 and escape

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:16.420
 from the snare

00:39:16.420 --> 00:39:16.900
 of the devil

00:39:16.900 --> 00:39:17.780
 after being captured

00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:18.480
 by him to do

00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:19.219
 his will

00:39:19.219 --> 00:39:20.119
 that's the intention

00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:21.219
 to restore them

00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:22.559
 not to condemn them

00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:24.800
 so error

00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:25.599
 cannot be ignored

00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:26.679
 divisive people

00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:27.860
 must not be tolerated

00:39:27.860 --> 00:39:29.019
 and a faithful minister

00:39:29.019 --> 00:39:29.920
 in a faithful church

00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:30.920
 will deal with the problems

00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:31.579
 as they come

00:39:31.579 --> 00:39:32.760
 now we'll finish this way

00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:35.639
 why is any of this important

00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.639
 any of this stuff

00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:39.900
 in verses 8-11

00:39:39.900 --> 00:39:40.859
 even really in the

00:39:40.859 --> 00:39:41.639
 chapter itself

00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:42.879
 why do we care so much

00:39:42.879 --> 00:39:44.480
 this isn't the

00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:46.659
 edifying types of

00:39:46.659 --> 00:39:48.579
 or encouraging types

00:39:48.579 --> 00:39:49.119
 of text

00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:49.519
 that just

00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:50.480
 we leave the service

00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:51.839
 and we just feel so good

00:39:51.839 --> 00:39:54.920
 we learn today

00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:56.000
 about what it takes

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:56.759
 to point out

00:39:56.759 --> 00:39:57.719
 and enter into

00:39:57.719 --> 00:39:58.799
 controversy in the church

00:39:58.799 --> 00:39:59.659
 when it's necessary

00:39:59.659 --> 00:40:00.099
 right

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:01.219
 that's not the kind

00:40:01.219 --> 00:40:01.659
 of service

00:40:01.659 --> 00:40:02.159
 that when you

00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:03.119
 call your parents

00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:03.679
 later today

00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:04.000
 and they say

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:04.799
 how was church today

00:40:04.799 --> 00:40:05.059
 you say

00:40:05.059 --> 00:40:05.980
 oh man it was just

00:40:05.980 --> 00:40:06.699
 you wouldn't believe

00:40:06.699 --> 00:40:07.539
 how awesome it was

00:40:07.539 --> 00:40:11.759
 so what's really

00:40:11.759 --> 00:40:13.079
 the point of all of this

00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:17.759
 the foundation

00:40:17.759 --> 00:40:18.539
 of all of this

00:40:18.539 --> 00:40:19.079
 the purpose

00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:19.759
 of all of it

00:40:19.759 --> 00:40:21.320
 the reason we care

00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:23.599
 is because of

00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:24.340
 the preservation

00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:26.659
 and the proclamation

00:40:26.659 --> 00:40:28.840
 of the true gospel

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.480
 if we do not care

00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:33.239
 to affirm

00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:34.219
 what's profitable

00:40:34.219 --> 00:40:36.099
 avoid what's worthless

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:37.539
 and contend

00:40:37.539 --> 00:40:38.179
 with those

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:39.239
 who would reject it

00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:40.719
 we will lose

00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:41.360
 the gospel

00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:44.039
 we may not lose

00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:44.799
 our church

00:40:44.799 --> 00:40:46.400
 we may grow

00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:48.719
 we may become

00:40:48.719 --> 00:40:49.699
 richer

00:40:49.699 --> 00:40:51.259
 as a congregation

00:40:51.259 --> 00:40:53.259
 we may have

00:40:53.259 --> 00:40:53.920
 more successful

00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:54.659
 ministries

00:40:54.659 --> 00:40:55.659
 but we'll lose

00:40:55.659 --> 00:40:56.299
 the gospel

00:40:56.299 --> 00:40:57.639
 we won't be healthy

00:40:57.639 --> 00:40:59.079
 we won't glorify

00:40:59.079 --> 00:40:59.559
 God

00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:01.239
 that's the point

00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:01.940
 of all of this

00:41:01.940 --> 00:41:03.239
 how can we glorify

00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:04.179
 God as his people

00:41:04.179 --> 00:41:04.960
 well we need

00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:05.639
 certain things

00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:06.379
 set in order

00:41:06.379 --> 00:41:07.259
 we need certain

00:41:07.259 --> 00:41:07.739
 structures

00:41:07.739 --> 00:41:08.659
 we need faithful

00:41:08.659 --> 00:41:09.019
 leaders

00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:10.179
 we need the gospel

00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:11.039
 to saturate

00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:12.019
 everything that we do

00:41:12.019 --> 00:41:13.179
 we need to avoid

00:41:13.179 --> 00:41:13.859
 the things that would

00:41:13.859 --> 00:41:15.079
 distract us from that

00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:16.239
 we need to contend

00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:16.879
 with those who would

00:41:16.879 --> 00:41:18.059
 come in and divide

00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:18.599
 the church

00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:19.980
 as it relates

00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:21.000
 to heretical doctrine

00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:21.899
 and to sinful

00:41:21.899 --> 00:41:22.399
 practices

00:41:22.399 --> 00:41:23.000
 why?

00:41:23.399 --> 00:41:24.000
 because we want

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:24.719
 to declare

00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:25.719
 and display

00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:26.659
 the message

00:41:26.659 --> 00:41:27.440
 of salvation

00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:28.699
 for the glory

00:41:28.699 --> 00:41:29.239
 of God

00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:30.419
 that's what this

00:41:30.419 --> 00:41:31.480
 is ultimately about

00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:33.079
 it's not just

00:41:33.079 --> 00:41:33.920
 having structure

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:34.960
 for structure's sake

00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:36.300
 it's about glorifying

00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:36.699
 God

00:41:36.699 --> 00:41:38.019
 it's about faithfulness

00:41:38.019 --> 00:41:38.659
 to the truth

00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:39.800
 it's about giving

00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:40.320
 the gospel

00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:41.019
 and displaying

00:41:41.019 --> 00:41:41.559
 the gospel

00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:42.280
 so that God

00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:43.059
 might actually

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:43.719
 bless us

00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:44.440
 and use us

00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:45.019
 for his glory

00:41:45.019 --> 00:41:45.740
 in this life

00:41:45.740 --> 00:41:46.820
 that's what this

00:41:46.820 --> 00:41:47.360
 is about

00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:48.900
 that's why we care

00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:51.920
 that's why we don't

00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:52.559
 skip it

00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:54.599
 that's why we have

00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:55.300
 member meetings

00:41:55.300 --> 00:41:57.260
 so that we can

00:41:57.260 --> 00:41:58.119
 further progress

00:41:58.119 --> 00:41:58.559
 in this

00:41:58.559 --> 00:41:59.380
 caring about

00:41:59.380 --> 00:42:00.019
 these things

00:42:00.019 --> 00:42:01.259
 caring about

00:42:01.259 --> 00:42:01.719
 the things

00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:03.000
 of God

00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:03.900
 and of the church

00:42:03.900 --> 00:42:05.719
 and though this text

00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:06.500
 may have been

00:42:06.500 --> 00:42:07.759
 aimed particularly

00:42:07.759 --> 00:42:08.519
 at Titus

00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:09.119
 and the elders

00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:10.719
 it's certainly

00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:11.259
 profitable

00:42:11.259 --> 00:42:12.019
 for all of us

00:42:12.019 --> 00:42:12.539
 to consider

00:42:12.539 --> 00:42:14.699
 there's all kinds

00:42:14.699 --> 00:42:15.380
 of implications

00:42:15.380 --> 00:42:16.019
 here for the

00:42:16.019 --> 00:42:16.659
 congregation

00:42:16.659 --> 00:42:17.800
 not the least

00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:18.300
 of which

00:42:18.300 --> 00:42:19.380
 is the command

00:42:19.380 --> 00:42:20.179
 to believe

00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:21.360
 share and defend

00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:21.940
 the gospel

00:42:21.940 --> 00:42:23.300
 and to live

00:42:23.300 --> 00:42:24.259
 as a gospel

00:42:24.259 --> 00:42:25.139
 light in the world

00:42:25.139 --> 00:42:27.759
 and if our church

00:42:27.759 --> 00:42:28.679
 is going to do

00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:29.380
 these things

00:42:29.380 --> 00:42:30.180
 it will be

00:42:30.180 --> 00:42:30.720
 necessary

00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:31.360
 to guard

00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:32.200
 against those

00:42:32.200 --> 00:42:33.140
 who reject

00:42:33.140 --> 00:42:33.800
 the truth

00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:35.579
 abound in

00:42:35.579 --> 00:42:36.660
 unrepentant sin

00:42:36.660 --> 00:42:38.320
 and stir up

00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:39.660
 worthless controversy

00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:41.920
 these things

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:42.820
 are fundamental

00:42:42.820 --> 00:42:45.019
 to what it means

00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:45.680
 to be a faithful

00:42:45.680 --> 00:42:46.220
 minister

00:42:46.220 --> 00:42:48.400
 they're fundamental

00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.180
 to what it means

00:42:50.180 --> 00:42:50.640
 to be

00:42:50.640 --> 00:42:51.800
 a faithful

00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:53.000
 healthy

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.680
 God glorifying

00:42:54.680 --> 00:42:55.280
 church

00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:56.660
 and we need

00:42:56.660 --> 00:42:56.840
 them

00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:58.840
 to be

00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:58.840


00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:58.840


00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:58.840


00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:58.840


00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:58.840
