  1. “The Church Will Always Need Leaders!” Titus 1:5-9

  2. Are these examples of “real men”?

  3. I pray what we study today will be more than useful. I pray it will be convicting!

  5. Purpose: to grow in our understanding of the constant need for true Biblical elders/pastors

  7. Titus 1:10-11 “For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach, for the sake of sordid gain.” (NASB)

  8. God’s divine strategy is not to have a circuit preacher… Biblical leaders who seize the responsibility of passing the faith along to each succeeding generation.

  16. Titus 2:7 “In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity of doctrine…”

  17. Conclusion and Summary: I pray you better understand now for twenty one centuries the Church has survived and thrived. Why? Because we have a God Who is alive, because we have a Word from God that is changeless, and because we have had faithful leaders pass this Word on to the next generation…

  19. Christianity is not about promoting religion. Christianity is all about promoting new life in Christ. We didn’t talk about how religious elders were; instead, we studied about what kind of lives they live…
