God's Expectations of His Shepherds

What this episode covers

As Paul planted churches, he placed significant importance on appointing elders (aka shepherds or bishops) as church leaders. What does God desire and require of His shepherds? What should the life, character, and faith of a New Testament elder look like? What are God's expectations for every Christian who follows the Good Shepherd? In this lesson we look at the teachings and examples of Jesus, the prophets, Paul, Peter, and John to answer these questions.
