Are you satisfied with who you are or are there areas where you'd like change? If we do want to change, can we in fact change? Many people say that we can't, but the says we can. How?

What does it mean and how is it practical for us now?

Kevin Patrick continues our study of Titus, looking at 1:7-16.

Last week we left off without discussing in length verse 4. Today we come back to verse 4 and discuss what that might mean. The other examples that Peter gives are from the early chapters of Genesis, so it seems reasonable verse 4 alludes to an early-Genesis event as well. This verse has a lot of different interpretations, and while Pastor Tim discusses some of them, he elaborates what he believes 2 Peter 2-4 is referring to. Despite how it is interpreted, we must not miss the point of this passage- God judges the wicked and rescues the righteous.
