Epistle Titus and Letter to Philemon pt1

Epistle Titus and Letter to Philemon pt1 | www.warn-usa.com | WIBR/WARN Radio |Warn-Usa.com We now enter into some shorter epistles with Titus and Philemon; lessons in practicality and living in the Roman Empire The Gospel of Titus along with the Letter to Philemon represents the early church and the ongoing faith and also the struggles they encounter. Here we find Paul in chains in Rome and along with the bonds, Paul bears fruit of those who come to the faith. They are Sons and Daughters in the faith. It was from these bonds that the chief of the Apostles to the Gentiles wrote the flock of God throughout the Roman Empire. It was this flock, which now as the Apostle Paul was no more roaming free; that certain of the Jews who had sought to kill Paul or have him locked up now took the advantage to enter in and destroy the faith that he had preached. We look at the “Ways of the faith in the early church” and how we can learn from them. Tit 1:1-4 (1)  Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; (2)  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; (3)  But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; (4)  To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
