The Transformative Power of Grace - Tanisha Braithwaite

Through the letter to Titus we see that God’s heart for his people is to be transformed by the power of his grace to live with integrity both in private and in public, impacting the faith of believers and the world around them because of their authenticity.
We see a theme of God calling people to a life of fruitfulness and goodness even while they are stuck in sin. God, through Paul’s letter to Titus, proclaims victory over a people in advance and redeems their history of worshiping false gods into a future of people of real faith in Jesus.
