Reading Titus

Titus is another Pastoral Epistle, a letter from Paul to a church leader. This one is directed to Titus, a Greek believer who served as a leader for the churches on the island of Crete. Much like the other Pastoral Epistles, Paul's purpose in this letter is to encourage, and direct these young leaders in circumstances such as dealing with false teachers and the sinful nature of men.

Paul starts by providing qualifications for church leaders, including overseers, elders, and deacons. He also provides some tips in how to identify false teachers, as well as a warning to the church to avoid the false teachers. Paul also provides some great encouragement regarding how a believer should live their life, within the church and outside the building.
