This is a deeper dive into the issue of slavery in Paul's writings in the New Testament after our sermon on Titus 2:9-10 yesterday.

Sunday sermon from Titus 2:9-10 by Mason Miller, the lead pastor at Normandale Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas.

What does a woman's life look like when the gospel has actually taken hold? In Titus 2:3–5, Paul paints a picture of the redeemed woman — one whose life has moved from chaos to order, whose home has become a guide to what is good, and whose example is teaching the next generation. This is not a passage about impossible standards or domestic servitude. It is a passage about the quiet, powerful, gospel-shaped life of a woman who knows she has been bought, cleansed, and called — and who lets that reality reorder everything in her life.

What does it actually look like for a man to live a redeemed life? In this message from Titus 2, we unpack Paul's call to proclaim things consistent with sound teaching — and what that demands of men specifically. Self-control isn't just a personality trait; it's the mark of a man whose life has been reshaped by the gospel. From pornography to language to financial habits, we get practical and specific about what gospel-driven consistency looks like in the real areas where men struggle most. Because Christ has already set you free — the call now is to commit to living like it.

Titus 1:10–16 | Jesus Plus Nothing

We are all being shaped by something. The question is whether the voices influencing us are leading us toward Christ or away from him. In this passage, Paul warns Titus about two ancient errors that have never stopped resurfacing — legalism and antinomianism — and calls the church to the kind of faithful preaching that exposes and defeats them both.

Legalism tells you that Jesus is necessary but not sufficient. You need him plus your performance, your rituals, your tribe's cultural markers. Antinomianism tells you that grace is real but inconsequential — believe and live however you want. Paul says both are gospel poison, and both will destroy your faith.

The antidote is clarity: sound preaching that keeps your eyes fixed on Christ alone — not your hold on him, but him.

Titus 1:1-9

In this opening sermon of our series in Titus, we discover that real knowledge of God's truth isn't just information — it's the kind of knowledge that directly determines how you live as a citizen of Christ's kingdom. Paul writes to Titus with two goals: that you would trust in Jesus, and that your knowledge of God's truth would grow and shape every corner of your life. But how does that knowledge come to you? Through preaching. This is why pastors matter, why the church matters, and why showing up Sunday after Sunday to hear the faithful message of Jesus Christ is anything but routine. The ship has already sailed — and the life you're being called into is better than the one you left behind.
