Paul reads Titus and Philemon aloud and shows how sound doctrine forms trustworthy leaders while grace pushes us toward real reconciliation that costs something. We connect elder integrity in Crete with a five-step path to peacemaking between Philemon and Onesimus.

• letters to Titus and Philemon read in full
• why Crete needs strong elders with integrity
• qualifications that protect churches from false teaching
• grace that trains us toward self-control and good works
• avoiding useless controversies and divisive people
• aligning life with the gospel to guard credibility
• Onesimus becomes family, not property, in Christ
• Paul’s model for reconciliation: inclusion, affirmation, substitution, expectation, inspection
• practical next steps for making peace and restoring trust
