Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter by chapter verse by

study through the entire Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck

continues his message, The Hope of Eternal Life, as we pick up in Titus chapter one verse one.

And now with today's study, here's's pastor chuck let's turn now in our

bibles to the book of titus not much is known about titus paul makes slight references to him in the

corinthian epistles outside of, we know very little about Titus,

except what we can pick up in the book. Evidently, he was a convert of Paul, as was Timothy,

because he calls him his beloved son as he did, Timothy.

He wrote his epistle to Titus at about the same time that he wrote the first epistle to Timothy.

There is a similarity between the two epistles in that in both of them,

Paul is establishing the order within the churches,

the appointment of the elders and the various other offices within the church and the functions

of the various groups within the church. And so with that brief background, let's turn directly to the book,

as Paul introduces himself here as a servant of God.

The Greek word is Duoloi, which is slave.
