The Qualifications for Elders, Part 2

An exposition of 1 Timothy 3:2-3 continuing a survey of the apostolic qualifications for the eldership. The sermon examines the character traits Paul requires of a bishop — blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, gentle, not quarrelsome, and not covetous — treating each as a binding standard for qualified male oversight in the church of God. Main points: - the positive qualifications required of an elder (1 Timothy 3:2) - the negative qualifications — what an elder must not be (1 Timothy 3:3) Scripture references: - 1 Timothy 2:12; 3:1-16 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-3-the-qualifications-for-elders-part-2-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
