Christown's Titus 2 Ministry- Teach Me to Love

Psalm 1: 1-3 and Titus 2:5 creates a powerful picture of our inner spiritual devotion to be

transformed into our external character like a Pothos plant that is propagating.

King David shows us how to turn our hearts to God when our hearts are hurting and our minds are troubled. God's Word on this topic will encourage our hearts and show us how to not only survive suffering but grow closer to God in spite of it.

This lesson includes a lot of sound advice on dealing with teens and the issues they face. If you are willing to think outside the box but inside the boundaries of scripture- this is a great lesson for you! Jayme Hughes teaches this lesson; what she faced may not be the same as what you face, but the comfort and direction she found in Scripture apply to many situations.

What does a "friendly lover" to your husband mean to you?

Today we go in depth about this topic, we learn practical steps, and search how to bear the fruits of joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in our marriages. All fruit originate from the Holy Spirit and begin in the mind before turning into actions. Staying in God's Word and praying daily will cultivate these good fruits.

Psalm 1 paints a picture of the difference between a life devoted to God and a life lived apart from Him. The psalm reminds us that those who seek God's guidance and delight in His Words are blessed.

Last week, we learned how meditating on Scripture helps develop a sound mind. This week, we will explore how a sound mind produces a good (fruitful) life. Together, we will examine what it means to walk closely with God and experience the blessings that flow from a life rooted in Him.

Our feelings and emotions can rob us of peace, joy, and experiencing Gods truths, love, and light which He created to dwell in us. Scripture, which is God's Word, illustrates how we can honor Him and what it looks like in daily application. A form of obedience is to choose to be in God's word and meditate on His words. The power of God, and His holy work in us by the Spirit, guide our thoughts, hence reflected in our actions and our behavior, and leads us to a life that honors Him.

A relationship with God is necessary for growth. As we go through Psalm 1 we learn about God and see glimpses of Jesus, the one who is exalted through a humble heart. The author, David, stays close to God by staying reverent to God, meditating daily, delighting in God, and His statutes. We are encouraged by Davids words and are filled with hope for an eternal life with God.

Focusing on guarding our hearts as we tackle the many things that we are called to do.

Philippians 2:14

[email protected]

We wrapped up the day with an exercise to use as a family in analyzing the many things we are exposed to - movies, social media, music, games, etc. Everyone in the family can participate- what was good about it? What was bad about it? What does the Bible say about it? This is a great way to determine which entertainment sources we should be spending our time in.

Part 2 of Teen Day: we divided into groups. This is the recording of the moms' class. Jennifer led the first part with a review of the part Titus w plays in raising our children. Rachel spent time giving moms a big-picture look at what their kids are faced with and concluded with good news- the biggest influence on children, even in our culture, is MOM! Worth a listen!

Teen Day, we set aside time to prepare our teen girls' hearts for the coming year. We talked about discernment- what is true and what is not. Rachel Stickel from Axis.org joined us and led the girls in how to stay anchored in God's Word so that we can be wise in discerning truth!

God has given us a beautiful way to express love, our marriage union, and sexual intimacy. Satan's ploy to destroy marriage is running rampant with the availability of pornographic material.

There are over 100 studies that show the extent of the problem and the havoc it is making on the family.

Did you know:

The average age of children when they are exposed to pornography is 11, but are exposed as young as 6? Is a major contributor to adultery, divorce, sex trafficking, and sexual...

Everything from being too busy, poor communication skills, and sinful attitudes of pride, and unforgiveness keep us from seeing the service that God has called us to.

We will take a look at some common setbacks we have and apply biblical thinking to get our hearts back on track to serve God well.

This week we discuss how a mom's service requires wisdom and courage. Not many things bring a mom closer to God than her desire to parent her child well. As we draw near, God gives us the strength, wisdom, courage, and grace needed through His word. Hopefully, this will encourage mothers in a job that sometimes overwhelms us.

How do we stay balanced in our faith journey and in the challenges we face?

Let's consider some practical examples and suggestions, as well as, a glance at the warnings

and encouragement, from the book of Hebrews.

What do we really believe about God? How does our faith allow us to stand strong in life's difficult circumstances? Join us this week as we look for examples in God's Word to strengthen and encourage us.

Hebrews 12:28 instructs us to serve God acceptably with reverence and fear. The key to this service lies in discretion. Discretion is foundational to meaningful contribution in our Christian walk as women. Join us this week as we explore where discretion comes from and how to put it into practice!

We can all certainly feel the pressures and problems of this life, at times, and feel tangled up in them!

What does God's word have to say to us about what entangles us? Is there any way to get untangled?

The good news is the Lord has the encouragement, hope, and help we need to run the race set before...

No matter where you are in life, this lesson will touch your heart and give a lot of good instruction from the Word of God to remain pure and to encourage women in your life to obey God's Word in order to live a life that is truly blessed!

Hope is not the same thing as wishful thinking. God 's definition of hope includes the idea of a confident assurance and is closely tied to our faith and trust in Him. We will look at God's Word to see how that hope can grow in our hearts. We will discover how God instructs us to fight the things that attack our hope. Hope encourages our own hearts but also those around us!

God's Word is full of guidelines of how to honor Him with our words. Today's lesson we will dive into see what it means to communicate well. We will talk about how to use our words as God intended.

God has equipped you to be the Mama that He wants you to be.

Our theme this year is Ordinary Women Called to Serve Our Extraordinary God. Our first session did not record well. We talked about the wonderful Savior we have in Christ Jesus in Hebrews 1. In this second lesson, we look at the therefore- Since we have such a Great High Priest we can therefore serve Him with confidence. The closer we are to Him - the BETTER our lives will be because He is BETTER!

We had a great time teaching the girls from God's Word. It truly is good to be Gods girl!

The Love of Jesus is poured out in His Holy Word, which are fundamental Truths. We utilize the book of Hebrew to lay the foundation for a heart posture to Titus 2:3-5. Jesus holds our salvation. Jesus is better in every way. We learn how scripture says to read daily and obey the Word of God, to guard our hearts, to confess our sins, to have a grateful heart, and to boldly forgive others, as we have been forgiven. As we follow Him, He equips us for the rest.

We begin this semester in the book of Hebrews, where we will discover all the wonderful things about Jesus, as we work through Titus 3:2-5.

We are called to good works but we often struggle. We get caught up in our own sins of unforgiveness, being easily offended, angry or fearful. We learn to recognize these things in ourselves through scripture. The good news is that God offers us reconciliation and a fresh start everyday through confession and prayer. Be inspired to walk in the Spirit and return to good works.

What has God created you to do? We look at passages from Titus 2:11-14 to Ephesians 2:1-10

'We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we should walk in them.'

Our salvation and our works all come from Him. He has created us to do the works we are called to do. It is all Jesus. Learn more about the works God has for you!

The meaning of the word KIND is wide and deep—like Jesus. The common phrase "practice random acts of kindness" inspires people to do nice and thoughtful things. However, these acts don't express the full impact of God's kindness. God's kindness is loyal and represents His mercy and His lovingkindness towards us. In this lesson, we learn more about what God's kindness looks like and how we are to share it with others.
