Characteristics of a Healthy Church- Titus 2:1-10

The individuals that have been radically transformed by the grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are the people that make a church.  The local church is established when these individuals come together for corporate worship and mutual edification while submitting to the authority of God as their rule for faith and practice.  We use the phrase "community of believers" to describe the church as it is a group of individuals who believe and form a like-minded community.  The individuals that come into the church come from a wide variety of backgrounds and find themselves at all different stages of life.  They have a burden to be faithful to the Lord do not understand how to face the trials of life according to the Scriptures.  One of the main missions of the church is to teach them exactly how to make biblical decisions in all areas of life.  In Chapter two of Titus Paul begins by sharing with Titus some practical principles that he needed to teach his church.  A healthy church is one that has the characteristics mentioned in the second chapter of Titus.  Watch the video below to learn more about what these are!
