How firm a foundation, the

the foundation, he saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

When you meet someone who says that they believe in Jesus,

do you ever wonder if their faith is genuine?

Do you want to know if their faith keeps them honest at work or in their marriage?

Well, we're all so tired of hypocrisy, aren't we?

And you know, hypocrisy also alienates people from hearing the real gospel.

Welcome to Through the Bible with Dr. J. Verna McGee for our first study in Paul's

letter to Titus. It's a tiny New Testament book really, but it carries a huge message for Christians.

The old saying, practice what you preach?

Well, it could very well have gotten its beginning in the book of Titus.

Now a bit of background. The Apostle Paul is writing this letter to Titus a Greek man who was saved through Paul's ministry and became a really close friend to him.

And though Titus was young he was someone with enough integrity that Paul trusted

him to be left on the island of Crete, where immorality was rampant.

Paul told Titus to help the troubled church there, both in how they were living and what they believed.

You're going to appreciate the very current and relevant lessons that we're going to learn from Dr.

McGee in this short but powerful book.

Now this study has only five lessons but each one packs a

really big punch. So while you open your Bible and you find your spot let's take a

minute to hear from Greg Harris. Greg there's so much always going on in this ministry around the world, but you know God's

word is making an impact here in North America too.

We sometimes forget that.
