Part 2-10 Character Over Competence
Titus 1:5-9
Ps Denis Lu
In Titus 1:5-9, Paul zooms in to what a church elder should look like. Paul emphasises, that in the house of God, character precedes competence. Leaders of the church should be those who have already had an inside-out transformation. This is important because they are examples for the rest of the church. This passage speaks to the following groups of people:
- The elders of the church, as examples to the house of God
- The life group leaders, as leaders of small groups within the church
- To every believer in the house of God

About this series
On the day of Pentecost, Jews from afar returned to Jerusalem for the Passover. They heard the Gospel in their own language and believed in the Lord Jesus (Acts 2:11). Among them were Cretans, who could have been the first believers who formed the church in Crete.
In the Epistle to Titus, Paul gives instructions to his son in the faith Titus who was the pastor of the church of Crete.
The book tells us that those who have trusted in Jesus will experience life transformation: being rooted in sound doctrine, living godly lives and devoting themselves to doing what is good.
In this 10-part series, we will explore each section of this epistle, unpacking its timeless truths and practical applications for our lives today.
