Titus

A Greek believer Paul trusted with hard jobs: a tense church in Corinth and an unruly one in Crete.

The story

1. A Greek in Jerusalem Gal 2:1-3

   Not compelled to be circumcised.

2. Missing at Troas 2 Cor 2:12-13

   Paul has no rest because he cannot find Titus.

3. Comfort from Macedonia 2 Cor 7:6-7

   He arrives with good news from Corinth.

4. Sent back with the gift 2 Cor 8:16-23

   He returns to Corinth to finish the collection.

5. Left in Crete Titus 1:4-5

   To put things in order and appoint elders.

6. Gone to Dalmatia 2 Tim 4:10

   Still serving where he was sent.

Questions to sit with

1. Paul's spirits lifted when Titus walked in. Whose arrival does that for you, and for whom are you that person?
2. Titus was sent to messy churches. Where is God asking you to help set things in order?
