Are you thankful for our elders? We should be; for their faithful preaching of the Word of God from the pulpit.  Thank you Brett Harris for the message last Sunday on Titus 3, examing two of the marks of the church, the gospel and conversion.

He helped us understand the responsibility of our conversion is to serve others and do good works, which are all fueled by a life changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  The implications from this verse demand humility to our observance of authority and service to others, as we were once in the exact same condition as anyone in REBELLION to God. 

Review this sermon with all your heart, mind and soul this week, listen to it again, read through the text, examine your notes, write out how this applies to your own heart and then pray and plan to act in loving obedience to our savior.  Begin by looking at who is in authority over you, from great to small, and how you are displaying the gospel to others in your words and actions to those authorities and the people all around you.
