Above Reproach? | Titus 1:1-9 - Audio

If you’ve ever assumed the Bible’s standards for leaders are only for “super Christians,” Titus 1 flips that assumption upside down. These qualifications aren’t just a checklist for elders, they’re a picture of what mature faith looks like in everyday life.  In today’s message, Pastor Joel Hastings walks through Titus 1:1–9, explaining why God calls His church to be a biblical church (not just a big one) and how discipleship shapes our character through repentance, integrity, and obedience.  Here’s a couple key takeaways • The qualifications for elders are also a clear picture of Christian maturity.  • Being “above reproach” doesn’t mean perfect, it means quick to repent and walking in integrity.  • God forms us by obedience, not just information.
