Today’s sermon is especially appropriate in light of today’s culture where we are often struggling with the level of leadership we see on all sorts of levels. Paul has given Titus the responsibility of setting up elders in all the churches on the island of Crete.  In that culture, where immorality, greed and dishonesty was rampant it was very important to put the right people in charge of the churches.  That need is just as important in today’s churches as well.
