Title: “The Word Works Through a Purified and Possessed People”

Text: Titus 2:10b-15 (ESV)

CIT – If Jesus wrote FBC Norway a letter, I would want us to be known by the title of today’s message.

1. Adorned us with His doctrine … The Word is given to humanity (10b)

2. Appeared to us by His grace … The Word is introduced in Christ (11a)

3. Accepted us through His salvation … The Word is applied as directed (11b)

4. Acclimated us with His training … The Word is ingrained for change (12)

5. We anticipate His return … The Word (Jn 1) is anticipated in hope (13)

6. We are a purified and possessed people … The Word is at work toward purity (14)

7. We are to announce these truths with authority … The Word has absolute authority (15)
