Free Bible Study: Paul’s Letter to Titus Titus, like First Timothy, was written by Paul after his release from Roman imprisonment and was also written to an associate who was given the task of organizing and supervising a large work as an apostolic representative. Paul left Titus on the island of Crete to “set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city” (1:5). Not long after Paul’s departure from Crete, he wrote this letter to encourage and assist Titus in his task. It stresses sound doctrine and warns against those who distort the truth, but it also is a conduct manual that emphasizes good deeds and the proper conduct of various groups within the churches. This epistle falls into two major sections: the appointment of elders (1); setting things in order (2–3). theepistlesofpaul.yolasite Use for daily Bible study Use as a commentary on the four gospels Use to teach the Life of Christ The French have a proverb that provides insight for worship that states, “A good meal ought to begin with hunger.” It is hard to enjoy a meal when you are not yet hungry, but when you are starving, anything tastes good. As we approach worship with a hunger to meet God we will be filled and satiated. And when we come to worship filled up with our own self-sufficiency or full of preoccupied thoughts, we probably won’t experience meaningful worship. It’s true . . . good worship begins with a hunger for God.
