I. Intro.
Reminder (Titus 3:3-7)
A. I have trouble remembering things.
1.
Any of you notice that?
2. I don’t know why but sometimes things just slip my mind.
3.
There have been times when I did not remember what I went into the kitchen for.
B. I think it’s scientifically safe to say that the older you get the more reminders you need.
1. Can I get a witness?
2. Maybe I should just speak for myself.

4. Like, the trash needs to be taken out.

II.
Easter is Coming Up in Just Two Weeks.
A. It seems like the year just started and we’re already two weeks from Easter!
1.
As you know, Easter is a big day in the church world.
2. it’s a day we celebrate our living Lord.
3.
Because He is alive!
4. We serve and love a living person
5. We know this because we know in whom we believe, our resin savour, Jesus Christ.
6.
But Easter gives the resurrected Jesus a new Emphasis.
B. Easter is a big day in the church for another reason.
1. Easter is one of those days when people who may not have gone to church at all that year, will come to church on Easter.
2. Did you know that people tend to attend church on Easter more than any other day of the year.
3. Maybe it’s just tradition.
4.
However, the focus of Eater is about transformation not tradition.
5. It’s about being spiritually transformed into the resurrected life of Jesus christ.
C.
So I want our church to begin having an Easter focus today.
1.
What do you mean pastor “an Eater focus?”
2. I mean, having a focus on those not here today.
3. A focus on those who have never been here before.
4. Our family who needs Jesus.
5. Our friends who need Jesus
D. We may feel secure in our relationship with Jesus.
1.
If we’re saved, secure.
2. Sure, we still have problems.
3. Life is still tough.
4. But our eternity is still secure.
5. We are complete because of our salvation in Jesus.
6.
And we have everything we need in Jesus.
E. So, I would like for us to do something radical this morning.
1. Let’s do something radical for the next two weeks.
2. Let’s take our complete focus and sole focus of ourselves.
3.
Because we’re OK, in Jesus.
4. But there are those who are not.
5. Sometimes we lose sight of the need of our family and friends who don’t know Jesus.
F. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of where Jesus has brought us.
1. Paul wrote Titus and told him to remind the church in Crete what Jesus had done for them.
2.
Here is what Titus was to remind them of—
3. We need to be reminded from time to time where we have come from.
4. When we remember where we’ve come from, maybe it will help us see the urgent need of our family and friends who are still where we were.
So, Titus 3:1-7 gives us —
III.
A Reminder of Who We Were.
A. Before we were saved, this is what we looked liked through the Eyes of God.
1.
We were foolish.
2. We were going our own way.
3. We were not willing to admit and submit to the gospel truth.
4. The way and the wisdom of the world seemed to us the right way.
B. We were even disobedient
1. Being disobedient involves choice.
2. When we had the opportunity to chose God’s ways, we rejected God’s ways.
C. We were deceived.

3. Remember this is were you were.
So, this is also—
IV.
A Reminder of Who Changed Our Lives.
A. “But When...”
1. Titus 3:3 says—
2. But verses 4;5 says—
B. We weren’t changed by our works of righteousness.
1. Whoever we were and what ever we did had no bearing on what God did.
2. Our best efforts and our best living had no effect on what God did.
C. It was God’s love and God’s kindness and God’s mercy that saved us.
1.
The word “kindness” here is where we get the word “philanthropy” — “Love of people.”
2. God loves us.
3.
He had mercy on us.
4. We didn’t get what we deserved for the life we used to lived.
D. God’s love and mercy is still available.

2. He didn’t stop with you I.
3.
And let me remind you that He’s still a God of love and kindness and mercy.
