Ministry Opportunities for Men and Women Prayer Team Update, LOVEBREVARD, Family Info Lunch, Small Groups Page 1 Page 2 Pages 3-4 Pages 5-8 WEEKLY CHALLENGE But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. (Titus 2:1) Last week s Challenge focused on not only knowing the truth of God s Word, but allowing it to have an effect on our lives - namely, godliness - well-directed reverence. Paul goes on to encourage Titus that his teaching must accord or be distinguished by sound doctrine. Most wouldn t argue that if we are going to expose ourselves to teaching, that it should be sound in doctrine. Sound is defined as pure and uncorrupted. But last week s challenge got me thinking about the effects of sound doctrine. Just being exposed to sound doctrine isn t enough if it doesn t result in sound living. What we hear must be met with action or we fall into what James refers to in James 1:22-25, but be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. This Sunday we ll be encouraged through the book of Titus to allow what we hear through the truth of God s Word to affect our character and our actions as we humble ourselves before God and allow Him to affect change in our lives as we surrender them to His Holy Spirit. We ll also see how the Lord used our giving last year to build His kingdom as we do our 2018 in Review at the end of the service. See you then!
