Devotional: Titus 2:6-8

Today’s passage: Titus 2:6-8

Helpful thoughts:

  • The previous verses ended with the details of older women teaching the younger.  In verse 6, Paul moves back to a major spiritual growth goal for the younger men, self-control.
  • In verses 7-8, Paul is again speaking to Titus, serving as a pastor/elder in the church.
  • Pastors are to teach and train the church to do the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13).  This does not excuse the pastor from participating in the work however.  He is to teach by word and by example.

Questions to consider:

  1. Looking back to the previous verses in context, how will the growth of a younger man in exercising self-control help his young bride to pursue what she is called to in verses 4-5?  Why should a young man first look at his own heart and actions before seeking to correct his young bride (Matthew 7:1-5)?
  2. In what way is Paul saying to Titus here, “practice what you preach?”
  3. Why is important that a pastor speak with “sound speech?”  How could careless talk and crude words hurt the cause of the gospel in the church?
