Summary

The preacher stresses the long-term process of spiritual growth modeled in Titus 2, where older believers mentor younger ones, and underscores the necessity of accountability and commitment beyond casual attendance. Ultimately, church membership is portrayed as a vital covenant for sanctification and faithful stewardship of the church.
