This inductive Bible study focuses on the
message for the early Christian church on the island of Crete, off the
coast of Greece. The study carefully examines the apostle Paul’s
concerns for believers who would be led by the disciple Titus. This
in-depth nine week study also takes a close look (one day each week, and
then in all of lesson nine) at the biblical call to discipleship. The
book of Titus contains teaching concerning salvation as well as
practical guidelines for living in relationship with Christ. The study
examines the instructions given for specific adults within the church,
to see how godly behavior was described. Many practical application
questions are considered so that class members are challenged to grow
stronger in their faith and in their walk with the Lord.
The
study provides a number of options for completing the lessons. The
student could complete the observation questions followed by application
questions, or complete the remainder of the lesson for an in-depth
study. Students could also study only some of the portions of the
in-depth lesson beyond the observation questions. The study also offers
a reflection in Scripture every day to provide a time of daily worship
that addresses the role of Christians in the church as a disciple of
Christ. When a group is meeting weekly to discuss the lessons, each
student will benefit from the review discussion suggested by
possibilities in the accompanying leader’s guide.
