What does it mean to be an elder? What are the qualifications, and what are the responsibilities? As I've been studying the letter of 1 Timothy, again and again I have marveled at the fact that God has not left us to ourselves to figure out how a church ought to be ordered, how a church ought to be led, how a church ought to function. There is such a temptation in the church to adopt various structures of leadership that work well in the business world, but are not what God's Word prescribes. And I am so thankful that I don't have to be up-to-date on all the changing fads of business leadership in order to know how to lead a church. Because God, in His kindness to us, has revealed very clearly what the leadership structure of the church is to look like. As we find in 1 Timothy 3, there are overseers and there are deacons. These are the two biblical offices of the church. This morning we'll talk about overseers, and next week we'll talk about deacons.
