Justin Flores | April 13, 2025

Scripture: 1 Timothy 5:17-2

Main Point: For its good, the church must honor, hold accountable, and appoint elders with discernment. 1. For our good, consider the elder’s honor (v.17-18) 2. For our good, hold the elder accountable. (v.19-21) 3. For our good, appoint the elder with discernment. (v.22-25) Takeaways: For the Pastor: · Remember Christ is the head of the church, not us. · Pursue faithfulness, not praise, in your leading out and in your ministry of the Word. For the Church · Be on guard against the sin of partiality, honor where honor is due and rebuke when sin is persistent. · Pray for new elders that we can ordain, not hastily, but with wisdom, discernment, and confidence.
