Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:

1. Read Titus 3:3-7. What does Paul contrast between verses 3 and 4-7?
2. Consider verse 3. Most people will read this list of descriptions as being unfavorable. Why would anyone live in this way? What is the favorable presentation of that life? Why is it still empty?
3. Who is the subject of the sentence of verses 4-7? Why is this important? What role do people play?
4. When did/does goodness and kindness appear? Have you seen and known the goodness of God? How so?
5. What hope is promised in verse 7? How does this hope change your life today? 

Memory Verse of the Week:

Titus 3:4-5 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. (ESV)
