Titus 1:1-4 Sermon - Get Ready, God's Grace is Coming

Our latest CrossView Sermon is now available on Vimeo to watch or listen to. It was on Titus 1:1-4 and titled, "Get Ready, God's Grace is Coming."

You can view it at: http://vimeo.com/26302834 (also embedded below on this blog post)

Here are the Main Points:

Intro: Grace decays so we need to continually receive it. Paul gives us 4 things to think about in being more prepared to receive God's grace.

I. Receive grace and peace by recognizing who Paul is (v. 1a)

II. Receive grace and peace by growing in faith and knowledge (v. 1b)

III. Receive grace and peace by understanding why you need to grow in faith and knowledge (v. 2-3)

IV. Receive grace and peace by cultivating a sense of expectation to receive grace more and more (v.4)

Here are some reflection questions and pointers that may help in receiving what is preached:

1. What did the God speak directly to your heart and mind today from the message preached?
2. Why don’t you look forward to the hope of eternal life with God in the New Earth as much as you ought to? And how could you cultivate that desired hope so that it pushes you to grow in faith and knowledge?
3. What thought, feeling, or action is God telling you to change for your good and his glory?
4. How can you cultivate a sense of expectation and anticipation as you listen to the preaching on Sundays and as you read Scripture?
5. Read the booklet Listen Up! A practical guide to listening to sermons by Christopher Ash. If you don’t have a copy request one from PJ next time you see him. Share what you learn with other Christians and apply it to your sermon listening.
6. Email pj@crossviewchurchla.org sharing thoughts, comments, questions, and/or suggestions (constructive criticism).
