This Sunday we launched a new series through the book of Titus called Blueprint for a Healthy Church. Pastor Brandon opened with Titus 1:1–4 in a message titled Grace for the Assignment. He began by sharing about his experience teaching and coaching at a Middle School in Houston’s —a hard assignment that seemed impossible. But God reminded him that what He requires, He provides by His grace.

That’s exactly the encouragement Paul gives to Titus. Sent to Crete—a place known for corruption, immorality, and brokenness—Titus was tasked with setting things in order and restoring the church’s witness. An overwhelming assignment. But Paul begins by reminding him of the grace and peace that come from God through Christ.

Pastor Brandon unpacked four truths: Paul’s identity as servant and apostle, his mission to strengthen faith and deepen knowledge of the truth, the eternal confidence anchored in God who cannot lie, and the blessing of grace and peace that empower hard assignments. The big takeaway: Divine assignments come with divine grace.

Just like Titus, we’ve all been entrusted with assignments—in our families, workplaces, and church. They may feel overwhelming, but God’s calling always comes with His grace. His peace brings order out of chaos and His promises never fail. The question for us is: Will we rely on His grace for the assignments He has given?
