I hope you are all off to a great week in the Lord. I wanted to give you a recap from our time together this past week.Our time on Sunday was spent talking about 3 things about elders:
1. Elders in New Testament churches are biblical:
• Elders in Ephesus Acts 20:17
• Elders in all the churches that Paul founded Acts 14:23.
• Elders in the church at Jerusalem Acts 15:2
• Elders in all the churches of Crete Titus 1:5
• Elders in all the Churches of the dispersion of the Roman Empire James 1:1; 5:14
• Elders in all the churches in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia 1 Peter 1:1; 5:1
2. What elders do: LEAD, FEED, and PROTECT
• Acts 20:28-31
• 1 Peter 5:1-5
3. Who elders are. (their qualifications)
• 1 Timothy 3:1-7
• Titus 1: 5-9
In closing we looked at the following definition for elders:
Elders: “are the doctrinal guardians of the flock and the overseers of the life of the church responsible to God for the feeding and care and ministry of the people”
-John Piper
