In this Titus series message, Pastor Tim Dunn explores what it means to be spiritual sons and daughters, shaped by the guidance of spiritual fathers and mothers. Beginning with a personal reflection on his son graduating from basic training, Pastor Tim uses a poem about raising “dangerous men” as a doorway to highlight the biblical call to nurture the next generation in faith.

Paul’s letter to Titus was written to establish a healthy church where older believers taught, modeled, and passed on wisdom to those younger in the faith. Pastor Tim emphasizes that spiritual formation cannot happen in isolation. Just as children need parents, believers need spiritual fathers and mothers to guide them, train them in what is good, and remind them of their true identity in Christ.

The sermon contrasts cultural messages of pride, self-reliance, and hiding behind masks with the biblical vision of vulnerability, honesty, and servant leadership. Spiritual sons and daughters learn not to bottle up anger or live in silence but to grow in courage, love, and maturity. This is not simply about theology but about identity—living as God’s children and reflecting His character in everyday life.

Pastor Tim calls the church to see itself as a spiritual family. He prays for Graceway to be a house where people don’t just find a service or songs but discover belonging, discipleship, and unconditional love. It is in this spiritual family that the lost can be saved, the saved can be set free, the free can be called, and the called can be sent out into the world.

For both those deeply rooted in their faith and those still searching, this message offers hope: that in Christ, we find not only a Savior but also a family. Spiritual fathers and mothers raise up spiritual sons and daughters, passing down wisdom, building identity, and preparing the next generation to live with courage, compassion, and conviction.
