Using his trademark humor, Dan Seaborn challenges couples to assess the “friendship level” of their marriage and encourages them to go deeper. He explains how to overcome petty arguments by not trying to "fix" our spouse. Dan also touches on the value of taking good care of our bodies and cultivating emotional oneness by treasuring our spouse’s extended family.

True worship is the outpouring of a heart transformed by God’s holiness and filled with the awe and humility He inspires.

Life in this world is hard, and opposition is real. But the Christian believer has a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. These trials may test our faith, but real faith will be proved genuine in trial. We who love Jesus have joy in the prospect of his coming. And this joy and this hope have power to sustain us in days of darkness.

Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Titus 2

The amazing grace of God is what writes our spiritual biographies. Titus 2:11-15 explains how God saved us, and brought us from grace to glory.

First, this passage reminds us what grace brought: salvation.

“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men…” (Titus 2:11).

Without Jesus, we are spiritually dead, separated from God. We are considered devilish, disobedient to God, and depraved in our humanity. We cannot redeem our depravity and earn salvation; however, God brought salvation to us, because of His grace.

Adrian Rogers says, “You’re not saved by the merit of man, but by the mercy of God; not by the goodness of man, but by the grace of God. Salvation is not a reward for the righteous; it is a gift for the guilty.”

Secondly, Titus 2 reveals what grace taught: sanctification.

“...teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age…” (Titus 2:12).

Though saved by grace, we cannot continue to live in sin. There is nothing to earn, yet there is so much to learn. We must engage in discipleship and study God’s Word.

Third, Titus 2 explains what grace sought: service.

“...who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” (Titus 2:14).

Grace is a gift at the cost of the giver, and we have been purchased by the blood of Jesus. We are also purified from the inside out; we don’t work for God’s love, but our good works are a sign that we love the Lord.

This passage also calls us peculiar; we are meant to be different, set apart, a trophy of grace used for the service of God.

Finally, this passage shows us what grace wrought: glorification.

“...looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ…” (Titus 2:13).

The story is not over yet; what began in grace will end in glory. As believers, we have a glorious hope that He will come again. And one day, we will see Him, the one who saved us by His grace.

Apply it to your life

Do you have the blessed hope of Christ’s return in you? Remember the amazing grace of God today, which brought salvation to you while you were dead in your sins.

Jesus warned His followers they would face persecution—from synagogues, prisons, and even their own families. But rather than promising escape, He promised something better: divine wisdom in the moment of trial and eternal protection. Dr. John examines Luke 21:12-19, showing how Paul transformed imprisonment into opportunity and how Jesus calls us not to anxious preparation, but to joyful confidence that persecution becomes our greatest platform for witness.

The End of the Age: Our desire to see into the future is more than curiosity. We want to know what will happen so we can be prepared. If we know what the weather will be, what the stock market will do or how our job interview will turn out, we can adjust accordingly. In this 10-message series, Dr. John Neufeld teaches on Jesus' words and actions from Luke 21-22. Jesus points to the end of the age and describes what will be. While He doesn't answer our question of "When?", Jesus tells believers how to be ready. If we live as prepared people, the timing of Jesus' return will not catch us off guard.
