Titus: 2:1-4 Old People

In this sermon podcast, Pastor Eric focuses on Titus 2:1–4 and the surprising way Paul ties healthy teaching to healthy people. Paul moves from appointing elders in chapter 1 to calling older men and older women to carry real weight in the life of the church, not as background characters but as stabilizers and mentors. We unpack what “sound” means in the Greek, how dignity and self-control become a public witness, and why older women are charged to live in a way that fits what is sacred, refusing the patterns that tear others down and instead becoming teachers of what is good. The big idea is simple: the gospel creates a community where maturity is visible, and the older help the younger learn the way of Jesus.
