ðŸ—¡ï¸ Sermon delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church on Thursday, September 14, 2023, at 6:15 pm. 🗡ï¸
This expository sermon is based on 1 Timothy 3:1-7. It explains what a bishop is, and the qualifications needed for the office of a bishop in a local church.
1 Timothy 3:1-7 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
