    Christians are expected to do good things all the time, everywhere and any given life’s situation.

    INTRODUCTION Why policeman is always expected to catch bad people? Why is a school teacher is always expected to teach students? Why is a doctor is always expected to treat sick people?

    The Responsibility Of Elders In The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Aug 25, 2006

     | 4,385 views

    In the Scriptures, Pastors are referred to as "bishop, elder, and overseer." Why are they referred to in this way. In this message, Pastor Steve will examine these and more terms as he talks about the responsibility of elders in the church.

    We have completed our look at what elders are to be and now we’re looking at what elders are to do. In doing that, I would like to define the term that is found in 1 Timothy 3:1. It is the term translated "bishop." The term "bishop" is not a good translation because "it carries modern ...read more

    Everything rises or falls on leadership. The qualifications of leadership in the church

    Spotting Bad Leaders - Growing Good Ones Series

     | 4,388 views

    What makes good leadership material? It might surprise you that it’s not the strong, dictatorial man-in-charge, but is someone who models the gentle and giving spirit of Jesus.

    Timothy found himself in a pickle. False teachers had come in and were fomenting dissent among the men and using freedoms in Christ to pull women off into their deception and rebellion. Some of these men were leaders in the church. He needed a strong hand to put this troubled church back on track ...read more

    Today, we have the threat of cross-contamination between the ways of God and the ways of the world, just as it was threatening the church where Timothy was Paul’s chosen leader.
