Over the next few weeks we will be in the book of Psalm. This week, guest teacher Afshin Ziafat teaches from Psalm 19:1–6. The God of the Bible has made Himself known in the world around us and by revealing Himself in Scripture. He is a God who speaks, a God who wants to be known, and a God who pursues us.

As the family of God we’ve been invited to live on mission with God by the power of God. As we walk in obedience to the call, God works in and through us despite our short comings, fears and weakness.

Those who are born again bear fruit in their lives. In Titus 3, Paul outlines how this is all a work of Christ in and through the believer, from start to finish.

In Titus 3, Paul explains how our own need for God's mercy and grace should give us hearts and hands that are eager to give mercy and grace to those around us.

What does Grace look like? What does Kindness or Love look like? The book of Titus gives us an answer: Grace has a face and it's Jesus. “The Blessed Hope” is that we will come face to face with Jesus. 

All Christians are called to be elder-like in character, whether or not they are elderly in age. The manner in which we live out our daily lives either mar or adorn the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are not saved by good works, but we are saved to be people who are zealous for good works.

Titus serves as a reminder to Christians of how we must Declare the truth of the Gospel and we must Demonstrate the truth that we Declare. And most of all, Declaration without Demonstration is empty without the power of the Gospel. 

What holds our attention, affection and adoration is inevitably what the fruit of our lives begins to look like. In many ways, we become what we value most. So how do we look more like Christ? In our first week in our Titus series, we will examine the words of Paul as we seek to be a church that looks more like Christ every day.

In our final sermon of the Wisdom & Wonder series, we conclude by looking back on what we have learned from the wisdom of God’s word.
