TODAY’S REALITY

“Now more than ever, the church diligently needs Pastors who fulfill their highest calling – who respond to the divine summons to feed the flock by preaching the whole Word of God. We need men of God expounding the Word of God so the voice of God may be heard, the glory of God may be seen, and the will of God obeyed. This is expository preaching. And this is the dire need today!”

STUART BRISCOE

“The epistle to Titus is one of the shortest books of the Bible and has been somewhat overlooked. This is unfortunate because, despite its size, the depth and significance

its teaching cannot be overstated and its relevance for today’s church should not be underestimated.”
