The Central Thing Part II

February 16, 2020 Speaker: Pastor Lee Button Series: Setting Things in Order

Topic: Unity, The Church Passage: Titus 1:10–16

Titus 1:9-16

 

holding fast the faithful 

word which is in accordance 

with the teaching, so that he 

will be able both to exhort in

 sound doctrine and to refute 

those who contradict.

Titus 1:9

 

10 For there are many rebellious 

men, empty talkers and deceivers, 

especially those of the circumcision, 

Titus 1:10

 

11 who must be silenced 

because they are upsetting 

whole families, teaching things 

they should not teach for the 

sake of sordid gain. 

Titus 1:11

 

 

12 One of themselves, a prophet 

of their own, said, “Cretans 

are always liars, evil beasts, 

lazy gluttons.” 

Titus 1:12

 

 

13 This testimony is true. For 

this reason reprove them 

severely so that they may 

be sound in the faith, 

Titus 1:13

 

 

14 not paying attention to 

Jewish myths and commandments 

of men who turn away from the truth. 

Titus 1:14

 

 

15 To the pure, all things 

are pure; but to those who 

are defiled and unbelieving, 

nothing is pure, but both their 

mind and their conscience are defiled. 

Titus 1:15

 

 

16 They profess to know God, 

but by their deeds they deny Him, 

being detestable and disobedient 

and worthless for any good deed.

Titus 1:16

 

 

 

13 Then I looked, and I heard an 

eagle flying in midheaven, saying 

with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe 

to those who dwell on the earth, 

because of the remaining blasts 

of the trumpet of the three angels 

who are about to sound!”

Revelation 8:13 

 

 

Its rising is from one end of the heavens,

And its circuit to the [c]other end of them;

And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Psalm 19:6

 

 

17 Therefore, to one who knows the

right thing to do and does not do it, 

to him it is sin.

James 4:17

 

But avoid foolish controversies 

and genealogies and strife and 

disputes about the Law, 

for they are unprofitable and worthless.

Titus 3:9

 

wanting to be teachers of the Law, 

even though they do not understand 

either what they are saying or the 

matters about which they make 

confident assertions.

1 Timothy 1:7 

 

 

holding to a form of godliness, 

although they have denied its power; 

Avoid such men as these. 

2 Timothy 3:5

 

For among them are those who 

enter into households and captivate

weak women weighed down with sins, 

led on by various impulses, 

2 Timothy 3:6

 

always learning and never able 

to come to the knowledge of the truth. 

2 Timothy 3:7

 

 

For God has not given us a spirit of

timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

2 Timothy 1:7 

 

Romans 3:10-15 

10 as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one;

 

11 There is none who understands,

There is none who seeks for God;

 

12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless;

There is none who does good,

There is not even one.”

 

13 “Their throat is an open grave,

With their tongues they keep deceiving,”

“The poison of asps is under their lips”;

 

14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;

 

15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood,

 

 

 

1 Timothy 1:3

As I urged you upon my 

departure for Macedonia, 

remain on at Ephesus so that 

you may instruct certain men 

not to teach strange doctrines, 

 

nor to pay attention to myths 

and endless genealogies, 

which give rise to mere 

speculation rather than furthering 

the administration of God which is by faith.

1 Timothy 1:4
