Great Sermon! If you're thinking of entering the ministry or know of someone who is, or perhaps you're a elder questioning your calling, then you will want to hear this sermon. You will be greatly blessed by the teaching. This sermon is also a blessing to those of us who want to be workers who aren't ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (see 2 Tim. 2:15), being prepared for whatever the Lord brings our way. This sermon gives 4 common but wrong reasons men enter the eldership.
