Not a Violent Man (Titus #9)

Not a violent man

(Money Can’t)

Text: Titus 1:7

Not violent, vengeful, cruel, striker, fierce, or quarrelsome.

Not only violent in action but violent in speech

The violent man

  • David prays several times to be delivered from the violent man (Psalms 140:1,4,11)
  • Proverbs 16:29
  • Ecclesiastes 5:8

Violent and fierce was how the generation of Jews was in Jesus Christ’s day according to Matthew 11:12.

Resorting to violence

  • Like the high priest who ordered Paul to be hit.
  • Like the priests and leadership who had Jesus Christ beaten.

Turning the other cheek
