The main point

At Christmas God's goodness appeared and saved us by mercy, not our works.

About this message

Paul reminds Titus that we ourselves were once foolish and disobedient, until the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared. As the Christmas season ends, Pastor Vitali preaches Titus 3:3-8 as the theology of Christmas. He describes the ugliness of the human heart without Christ, the beauty of God's goodness appearing to save us by mercy and the Spirit's renewal, and the good works that show a changed life.

For anyone quietly asking whether God is really good to them.
