Paul’s message to Titus was clear and consistent: teach sound doctrine with dignity, integrity, and the authority given by God Himself. Titus was also to model the godly character and service he exhorted others to practice. Words, cautions Alistair Begg, are useless if they are not supported by actions. In contrast, when a pastor’s conduct embodies the Gospel message he preaches, believers are edified and encouraged to also live lives that declare the goodness of God’s grace.
Teach Sound Doctrine
1But as for you, teach what accords with sound1 doctrine.
7Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.
15Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

As leadership transitions from one generation to the next, the central truths of the Gospel must remain at the very heart of the church’s work. Nearing the end of his life, Paul wrote to embolden the pastor Titus to teach sound doctrine, to confront false teaching, and to establish organized leadership according to Scripture. In this study of the book of Titus, we see the radical implications of God’s design for His people.
In volume one of this series, Alistair Begg examines the theological basis for Paul’s practical instructions. Knowing who God is and what He has done for us in the Lord Jesus provides both the foundation for our faith and the hope and motivation for our good deeds. As we consider Paul’s guidelines for choosing elders and teaching older men and women, we find that those who “get it right” adorn the Gospel by distinctive, godly living.

Nearing the end of his life, Paul wrote to embolden the pastor Titus to teach sound doctrine, to confront false teaching, and to establish organized leadership according to Scripture. In this study of the book of Titus, we see the radical implications of God’s design for His people.
In volume two of this series, grace and confidence come to the forefront as Alistair Begg delves into the final chapters of Titus. Continuing his practical instructions regarding young women, men, slaves, and conflicts within the church, Paul assured Titus of the Bible’s reliable authority and the necessity of grace when sharing the Gospel. Justified by God’s mercy and enabled by His Spirit, the humbly obedient life of a Christian glorifies God and points others to Christ.
