Titus 1:5-16 | Gospel Eldership

  1. Split into groups of 2-3 people to debrief this week’s sermon. What stood out to you? What questions did you have? Do you have any takeaways?

  2. Read Titus 1:5-16. What are the different sections in this chapter? How does Paul contrast the elders and the “talkers”?

  3. Look closely at the list of qualifications in verses 6-9. Which of these virtues or attributes seems especially important? Are there any attributes which are surprising to you?

  4. Have you ever rebuked someone? Have you ever been on the receiving end of rebuke? Share about your experience and how the conflict was (or wasn’t) restored.

  5. Read John 14:25-26. How do we see Jesus teaching his disciples during his life, death, and resurrection? How should we expect his Spirit to give us instruction today?

  6. Robb mentioned two practical applications from this week’s passage: (1) Honor your elders and (2) Hold firm to the trustworthy word, together! As a group, discuss and commit to one way you will do each of these things this coming week.
