Summary: As Paul wraps up his letter to Titus, he begins to sketch out a web of relationships that exist purely by God’s grace. Why should this matter to us? Because Gospel-centered living weaves webs of grace-saturated relationships that sustain the mission. And we cultivate these mission-sustaining relationships by partnering with others intentionally, sacrificing for others personally, serving others practically and delighting in God, supremely.

Summary: Is a comet a sign of doom? Are authority and submission dirty words? The answer to those questions depend on who you ask, and where they stand in human history. For those who stand in the midst of the restoration of all things, our biblical submission to appropriate authority is delightful, because it glorifies the Trinity, decorates the gospel, and mystifies the world.

Text: Titus 2:1-3:1

Speaking: Isaiah Lewis

Date: March 29

Summary: One of the greatest opportunities facing a missional church in the south is dismantling legalism--both cultural legalism and personal legalism.

Summary: We could sum up human history as a crisis of leadership, and our typical responses to leadership are fear and skepticism.
