Another Sermon for the Starving Bible Believing Christians All Over the World Wide Web
2007 - KJV Bible Believers Church in Touchet, Touchet, Washington - Pastor Mike Paulson - 2007
Expounding the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26 - with the Scriptures Rightly Divided - II Timothy 2:15

Let No Man Despise Thee
Comfort and Confidence with Titus

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Titus 2:15

We say we are confident and not ashamed of:

King James Bible

inspired
preserved
worketh in them that believe
rightly dividing
The Rock
I Corinthians 13:10
gospel of our salvation
word of truth
that which is perfect
It teaches the Risen Christ
The KJB takes us Beyond the crucifixion
The Bible tells us to follow Paul, etc.

Yet I have seen Bible Believing Christians who seem so defeated in their testimony!

Philippians 1:20 - are we possibly ashamed of our personal walk for a testimony? or do we just tell folks what is right, but don't show them because we are afraid? And if so, what are we afraid of? No Confidence? Ashamed?

Ashamed?
II Timothy 2:15 - a workman that needed not to be ashamed...
II Timothy 1:12 - I 'know' whom
Romans 1:16 - Gospel of Christ (not 'gospel of Jesus' - that is GC!)
Romans 9:33 / 10:11; believe ON him
II Timothy 1:8 - not ashamed of the Lord AND not ashamed of Paul!

Confidence?
Acts 28:31
Ephesians 3:12

Paul had his confidence in the people as well:
II Corinthians 7:16
Philippians 1:25
II Thessalonians 3:4

Not in a boastful prideful manner, either - II Corinthians 10:2

Don't worry about others - don't be 'otherwise minded!' They have their own judgment seat coming! Galatians 5:10

Fear of man = SNARE! Proverbs 29:25

Boldness:
You men - deacons, especially - I Timothy 3:13
Do not be bold "in" our grace - that can make you a grace abuser!
Be Bold "BECAUSE" of grace, knowing that as we try to grow, we have His grace to back us up!

Refreshed?
Paul was by us - Romans 15:32
Paul and us - I Corinthians 16:18
Onesiphorus oft refreshed Paul - II Timothy 1:16

So let's challenge ourselves tonight... let's look to Titus!

Titus cares for us II Corinthians 8:16
Titus was a partner with Paul - II Corinthians 8:23; II Corinthians 7:13,14
Titus had no 'gain' from the folks - II Corinthians 12:18
People are comforted from Titus - II Corinthians 7:6

And Titus is even told to speak these things - exhort - rebuke with all authority.

LET NO MAN DESPISE THEE!

My question before we go any further:

Is there a parent; husband; wife, mom, dad, young man, young woman, aged woman or aged man, who will seek to fix their lives by taking heed to Titus?
Will you actually prepare your 'girl' to be a Godly woman and your 'boy' to be a Godly man - based on Paul and his epistles?

Titus is our challenge tonight!

Now - read the Epistle of Paul to Titus!
