Titus - Review and Discussion of verses 11-16 & Titus 2:1-10

• Philippians 3:19 - Their end is destruction, their god is the belly, they exult in their shame, and they think about earthly things. (This verse is referring to Cretans who were considered liars, evil brutes and lazy gluttons.)
• The elders of the church were to rebuke them sharply, which was sound in the faith.
• To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.
• The elders must teach sound doctrine. 1 Corinthians 8:6 - But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.
• Older men should be taught to be temperate, have self-control, strong in faith.
• Older women are taught to be reverent in their lives & not to slander others.
• Young women are taught to love their husbands & children & to have self-control.
• Young men are taught to have self-control.
• The elders, in all things, are to be an example by doing good and having integrity. 

Sermon
Galatians 5:19-23 - Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling & such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Subject: The Fruits of the Spirit - What Are You Chewing On?

• Fast food, we all know or have heard of fast food but do you know the fruit of the Spirit?
• The things that aren't good for us seems to taste the best.
• The Fruit is God's gift to mankind.
• There are two ways of living and the consequences: (1) Living according to the flesh which in disobedient to God's will; (2) Living a fruit filled life (For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.)
• If you are lead by the Spirit, then you are not under the law.
• Ephesians 4:26 - "In your anger do not sin."  It's alright to become angry however don't sin against another in your anger.
• By changing your diet from fast food to healthy food (The Fruits of the Spirit) you are gaining nutritional value and will feel much better.
• When dealing with less than perfect people, having patience is the mother of all virtues.
• Make you diet the right choice by feasting on the Fruits of the Spirit.
