🐑 Shepherding and the Book of Titus
🗓 Date: August 21, 2025
⸻
1️⃣ Background of Titus and the Connection to Shepherding
The book of Titus is a pastoral letter written by Paul to his spiritual co-worker Titus, mainly instructing him on how to appoint elders in Crete, strengthen believers, and guard against false teachings.
👉 The central theme of this book is the shepherding of the church — how to lead God’s flock in sound doctrine and holy living.
⸻
2️⃣ The Core of Shepherding: Sound Doctrine
📖 Titus 1:9
“He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.”
👉 A shepherd must hold fast to God’s Word in order to teach the flock.
Shepherding is not based on personal experience or emotion, but on feeding with the truth of God.
⸻
3️⃣ The Shepherd’s Life Example
📖 Titus 2:7
“In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness.”
👉 Shepherding is not only about teaching with words but also about living as an example.
Just as a shepherd walks ahead of the sheep and they follow, shepherding requires the power of example.
⸻
4️⃣ The Goal of Shepherding: Transformed Lives
📖 Titus 2:11–12
“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age.”
👉 The ultimate goal of shepherding is for lives to be transformed by grace.
A shepherd not only protects the sheep but also leads them to live godly and righteous lives.
⸻
5️⃣ The Power of Shepherding: Renewal by the Holy Spirit
📖 Titus 3:5
“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”
👉 Shepherding is not sustained merely by human effort, but by the work of the Holy Spirit.
The shepherd leads, but the Spirit renews — only then can the flock truly grow.
⸻
✨ Conclusion
The Blueprint of Shepherding in Titus
• Core: Sound doctrine
• Method: Life example
• Goal: Transformed lives
• Power: Renewal by the Holy Spirit
