There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word.

Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share

a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were

recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message

will be a help to you today.

To open the Word of God with me, please, in the New Testament to the little book of Titus, if you will.

Titus is, for some reason, one of the neglected books of the New Testament.

Maybe it's its size.

Maybe it is the fact that it is sandwiched between famous books like First and Second Timothy and Philemon and Hebrews.

I don't know why, but for some reason, at least for me, maybe not for you, Titus has been largely overlooked.

In fact, in some ways we almost get the idea, well, that's the same thing he said to Timothy.

No, no, look, if all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable, then every word of the word has something for us. Every page of scripture, God has something he's trying

to say to us. And so the little book of Titus, look at it with me just for a second, only three

chapters long, not long at all, is where we're going to pitch our tent

this week. And we're going to live in it. We're going to eat it, drink it, sleep it, breathe it,

think it, talk it. And I'm going to ask you to do something. I'm going to ask you for the next three

days devotionally to live in the little book of Titus. Now maybe you're on a Bible reading schedule

and you have something you're doing. Great. Just add this to that. That's fine. You can't get too

much Bible. Can we agree on that? But I'm going to ask you not just in the services, but in your own

private time with the Lord, to read through the little book of Titus. And for the record,

if you start right now and say, I'm going to get it done while he's preaching this morning,
