Role of an Elder

from Harman Memorial Baptist Church · host Dr. Shea Shrader

In this powerful message, we explore the vital qualities of church leadership as outlined in the book of Titus. The central theme revolves around the importance of having leaders who are 'above reproach' - individuals whose lives reflect the gospel they preach. We're reminded that while perfection isn't the standard, consistency in faith and character is crucial. The scripture emphasizes that leaders should be faithful in their families, temperate in behavior, and firmly rooted in sound doctrine. This isn't just about church hierarchy; it's a call for all of us to live lives worthy of the gospel. As we reflect on these qualities, we're challenged to examine our own hearts and actions. Are we living in a way that points others to Christ? The message reminds us that true leadership in the church isn't about power or control, but about servanthood and faithfulness to God's Word.
