"Do Your Best," Titus 3:1-15

Titus 3:1-15 “Do You Best…”

03/15/2026

 Even people whose sins have been forgiven and are living for Christ can sometimes have misplaced anger that boils over from time to time. Just because we are redeemed doesn’t mean that we are perfectly mature in our walk with Jesus. Even though sometimes the political environment might boil your blood, we are reminded to be submissive to those in leadership. Christ followers can disagree and still be civil.

• Remember, you were once foolish and made foolish, immature choices in life; your decisions were not bathed in prayer and gospel consideration. Before Christ, you were a rebel or disobedient. Before Christ, you were led astray (deceived) by any whim of teaching, full of idolatry, placing pleasures and passions before God. When you come to know Jesus, He changes your passions and pleasures. We take pleasure in knowing Christ.
• Our allegiance is, in this order, God, family, church, then our citizenship. The problem many have is giving our earthly citizenship an equal footing with our allegiance to Christ. This is a dangerous place to be. Therefore, we are called to engage in culture in such a way that we express the clear gospel of Christ and are in a favorable light with all around us. Sometimes this is impossible, but in these United States we live in, we can be civil and share the gospel. We must thank God for that freedom.

 

1. Remember the Mission- Pray and be submissive to those in authority to give an avenue for good works and then the gospel.
2. Remember How The Savior Changed Your Life- You were once children of disobedience and rebels towards God and others, but now have been changed by the power of the gospel.
3. Remember Your Allegiance- Our Allegiance is to Christ first, the gospel first, and we pray with spills over into every other facet of life…Remember.
