Trained By The Gospel - Titus 1:1-4
Pastor McKinney shares a personal story from his high school football days to illustrate the importance of future hope in shaping present discipline and actions. He connects this to the Gospel, emphasizing that the hope found in Jesus Christ is not dependent on our discipline but rather on the grace of God, which instructs us toward godliness and self-control in a world increasingly resistant to Christian values. As he addresses the culture's hostility toward faith, he encourages believers to maintain their focus on the eternal promise of life through Christ, reminding them that God is actively at work in both eternity past and eternity future. Ultimately, Pastor McKinney highlights that proclaiming the Gospel and engaging with God's Word are vital for cultivating a life marked by holiness and assurance, where faith and knowledge of Jesus result in godly living.
