Titus 3:1-11

Titus: Honoring God
March 1, 2026

KEY POINTS

Christians are called to live submissive, obedient, and peaceable lives in a divisive world.
Speaking evil, quarreling, and stirring division dishonor God and contradict the gospel.
We were once foolish, disobedient, and enslaved to passions, but God saved us by His mercy.
Salvation is not earned by righteous works but accomplished through God’s loving kindness and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
The grace that saves us also transforms us and produces good works.
Division within the church must be addressed seriously because it damages witness and unity.
The blood of Christ is the only blood that truly makes peace between God and humanity.
Eternal hope reshapes how we engage a chaotic world and how we treat one another.

DISCUSSION

Titus 3 begins by calling believers to be submissive and ready for every good work. Why is submission often so difficult, even for Christians?
How does remembering your past condition guard you against pride or harshness toward others?
According to Titus 3:4–7, what role do mercy and regeneration play in salvation? How does this protect us from self-righteousness?
In what ways are you most tempted to engage in unhelpful arguments (in person or online)?
Proverbs 18:2 says a fool delights in airing his own opinion rather than understanding. How does this challenge the way you interact with others?
How does fixing your hope on eternal life (Titus 3:7) change the way you respond to political tension, cultural division, or global conflict?
Paul instructs the church to warn a divisive person and then separate if necessary (Titus 3:10–11). Why is unity so serious in God’s design for His church?
What is one practical way you can pursue peace, gentleness, and good works this week instead of division?
