The church leader, Titus, is left behind on the island of Crete to help the quickly expanding local gatherings of ‘The Way’ seek good leadership. We wonder together what that might have been like and what it might have meant in that time and place. Description: As you listen to this message, you will quickly realise that Sam is inviting you on a journey through the eyes of a Cretan church leader, the apostle Paul, and Titus. These first-person perspectives bring us new thoughts and insights as we seek to understand the beginning chapter of Titus.
