"God's grace births your holiness journey"

Mike works to identify what most people think the "ideal Christian" looks like while acknowledging that we'll fail to meet the standard every time. In fact, no matter how hard we strive, the boxes we check, or the self improvement plan we create... we'll never hit the mark.

Which begs the question, how do I become holy? Or what do I do to be set apart? Maybe even, where do I begin?

"The clearest Gospel is seen before it's heard"

Pastor Mike Francisco recaps Titus chapters 1 & 2 before unpacking the vision Paul has for the Cretan church and it's impact on society. Paul envisions a church where maturing, changed, and transformed Jesus followers stand apart from the culture of the day. They are living out the good news of the life found in Christ and it's attractive to others.

"The grace you've experienced should cause you to live differently"

Pastor Mike Francisco works through Titus chapter 2 while reflecting on the local flooding that has left many people in need. As Paul writes to his friend Titus he tells him that the being different matters because it brings the good news to life. Paul reminds Titus that our experience of God's grace should cause us to live differently, towards good deeds and a servants heart.
