Unprofitable and Useless Servants (Titus 1:15, 16)
Unprofitable and Useless Servants
Text: Titus 1:15,16
- Have you ever wondered how God views you as His servant?
- Not all servants are viewed the same—some will be honor, while others will be cast out.
- What can we learn from Paul’s words to Titus?
- Godly elders are necessary to regulate the conduct of members of the congregation (vs. 5-9)
- The heart that is not transformed is filled with evil.
- Becoming a Christian requires a change from the inside out. (Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 5:17)
- Without Christ in one’s heart, the world totally corrupts his heart. (Jer. 17:9)
- Unconverted people in the church do great harm to the cause of Christ.
- Most congregations have some members who have not truly become disciples of Christ.
- Those unconverted church members who live like the devil hurt God’s church.
- Those Christians who live like people in the world are not acceptable to God.
- What a horrible thing to have God view a person as “abominable” (v. 16).
- God considers those Christians who live like people in the world as “unprofitable.”
- Are you a profitable and useful servant for the Lord?
