Titus 02:11-15 Our Blessed Hope

In this study:

When we do good things, it is God working in us
How the world is energized by ungodly passions
How promises of the return of Jesus energizes believers
What it means to be redeemed
The critical importance of knowing what we have been redeemed from
The importance of speaking with authority and the ditches on both sides

Stay in the battle!
