What kind of man should lead the church, and how do you know when he’s ready? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten return to 1 Timothy 3 and work through Paul’s qualifications for elders and deacons. They discuss why character matters more than charisma or skill, why a man’s household is the truest test of his fitness to lead, and why the church needs to see the target for every man modeled by its leaders.
They also explain why the office of elder is limited to qualified men, rooted in the order of creation rather than culture.
