We often think of doctrine as a cold and sterile thing which is derived in theory, but the Bible treats it very differently. In this episode on the book of Titus, the VC helps us to see the Pauline connection between doctrine and ethics.
Paul commissioned Titus to establish leaders, and so far the impact was minimal due to false leaders coming in the way. In this episode, the VC looks at what happens when leadership in the church operates correctly.
The epistle or letter to Titus is identified by its recipient, but how much is known about Titus? In this episode, the VC looks into Titus as a person and what we may learn from the relationship between Paul and Titus.
Since Paul has established the nature of his calling in Christ Jesus, and now he delivers a taste of his message. Listen to hear a great comfort in Christ from Paul from the introduction of Titus.

In this series the VC has examined case studies in leadership from the Bible.

What's the harm in being a pacifist? Many people assume that nonviolence can never be harmful, but the Bible speaks of teachings like these quite differently. In this episode, learn more about why the VC thinks it's worth our time to really consider the truth about the Bible and violence.
Scripture forbids private revenge as a response to injustice, but we should not assume that we are left as sheep among wolves. In this episode, the VC covers how the Scripture teach about the role of government to restrain and punish evil and what that means for us in this present evil age.
With so many extraordinary events in the New Testament, a reader might come to the conclusion that God doesn't work through ordinary methods. In this episode, the VC looks at a passage where Jesus emphasizes a regular way of life even as His own life is about to take an extraordinary turn.
Many assume the teachings of Jesus suggest that violence of any type for any reason violates kingdom principles. Often the assumption is that violence ended with the Old Testament. But Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies the day he cleansed the temple. Listen to this episode to learn more about how Jesus connects the Old Testament and New and what that means for his actions in the temple that day.
Of all the surprising things that Jesus says in His Sermon on the Mount, his address of the Lex Talionis ("an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth") remains one of the most interesting. Listen to hear what Jesus teaches and what that has to do with us as believers.
The teachings of Scripture are very clear that we are to sacrificially love our neighbor. The Christian should ask themselves how to do that in a world full of sin and misery. In this episode, the VC works through the Scriptures to help illuminated the call of loving neighbor and how the Bible applies that in all the Scriptures.
Jesus clearly says His kingdom is not of this world. He was telling us something about the nature of His kingdom. Pacifists assert that this has to do primarily with the nonviolent nature of His kingdom, but is that a sufficient explanation for the information? Was Jesus setting up a rival earthly kingdom but through alternative means or was His kingdom radically different in every way?
One major assumption of Christian pacifism is that weapons are evil and that removing them is a positive good. The VC looks at the Scriptures which deal directly with disarmament to help paint a better picture of how we ought to think about disarmament.
