In this message, Pastor Robbie connects Communion, the joy of the gospel, and the call for a “healthy church” from Titus 2. He reminds us that the Lord’s Supper is not only a time to remember and reflect, but also to rejoice that we were lost and are now found in Christ. From there, he shows that a truly healthy church doesn’t start with programs, but with godly people—especially older men—whose lives match what they believe.

Key themes:

• Communion is a time to remember Christ’s sacrifice, reflect on our hearts, and rejoice that we are saved by grace alone.
• Luke 15 shows our lostness (sheep, coin, prodigal son) and the joy of heaven when God saves sinners.
• A healthy church is not defined by ministries and programs but by the character of its people.
• The future of the church is the youth, but the stability and foundation of the church are the older saints.
• Older men are called to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, love, and perseverance (Titus 2:2).
• Daniel 6 gives a living example of an older man who finishes well, remaining faithful under pressure.
• Younger men should actively seek out and learn from older, godly men; older men should view later years as prime time for kingdom investment, not spiritual retirement.

Questions to consider:

1. If someone watched my daily life, what picture of God would they see?
2. Older men: do these Titus 2 qualities describe me? Where do I need to grow?
3. Younger men: am I intentionally seeking older, godly men to learn from and imitate?
4. Do I approach Communion as a mere ritual, or as a time to remember, reflect, and truly rejoice in the gospel?
