Free Ministry Resources at New MTS Website

The Ministry Training Strategy (MTS) is “passionate about recruiting and training workers for the vital task of Gospel ministry.” God has done and is doing great things through the ministry of MTS. They’ve recently launched a killer new website. Check it out.

They’ve also generously made available 64 of their training resources. THAT sounds like a good deal! I’m running a workshop on one-to-one discipleship this Saturday and have found Col Marshall’s training paper very handy. Find the resources here. Thanks MTS.

If this post makes no sense. Here’s a website you might find life changing…

3 Sermons on Titus – Waiting For Jesus (MP3s)

I had a great weekend with Roseville Anglican 18+ crew. Lots of encouraging conversations and good times. We looked at Titus (read it here). My summary of the book: knowing the truth of the gospel, leads to godly living, while we wait for Jesus. I spend most of my time speaking to teenagers, so I always enjoy getting to speak to a slightly older congregation!  Here are 3 blog posts from my prep: one; two; three.

Peaceout.

Jesus deals with Sin and brings Salvation

Titus is all about knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness. It’s important then to understand what “the truth” is in Titus. The truth in Titus is made very clear in a number of purple passages about the nature of the gospel. Here’s one of them:

3:3At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:3-7)

Jesus saves. We don’t save ourselves. Jesus deals with sin. Jesus brings Salvation.
