E. Building Healthy Witness: Good Works for the World (Titus 3:1–8)

Bridge Community Fellowship Sunday 08-10-25 Worship Service Building Healthy Witness: Good Works for the World (Titus 3:1–8) Big Idea for This Week: The grace that saves us also shapes us into people whose lives overflow with good works for the good of others. Sermon Outline: 1. Live Well in the World (Titus 3:1–2) The gospel calls us to be humble, peaceful, and respectful in the public square. 2. Humbly Remember Who You Were (Titus 3:3) We were once lost and enslaved by sin. Remembering that produces compassion, not pride. 3. Celebrate What God Has Done (Titus 3:4–7) We are saved not by works but by God’s mercy, through regeneration and renewal in Christ. 4. Devote Yourself to Good Works (Titus 3:8) Believers must be intentional and faithful in living out the gospel through good works. Application Questions for Study and Discussion: •What does it mean to live with humility, gentleness, and courtesy in today’s culture? •What part of God’s saving work (vv.4–7) stirs your heart with the most gratitude today? •Where in your life is the Holy Spirit prompting new or renewed devotion to good works? •How might your daily attitude toward others reflect your understanding of God’s kindness and mercy toward you? •What specific “good work” has God placed in front of you this week, and how can you pursue it with intentionality?
