Presentation transcript:

Traditions concerning the church Last week: church name, membership, attendance. In similar fashion we look at discerning some of the traditions believed/practiced vs. what the scriptures actually say about… elders, deacons, preachers.

ELDERS

1 Tim. 3:1ff Titus 1:6ff Above reproach Husband one wife Temperate Prudent Respectable Hospitable Able to teach Not addicted to wine Not pugnacious Gentle Peaceable Free from the love of money Manages his own house well Keeping his children under control with all dignity Not a new convert Have a good reputation from those outside (the church) Above reproach Husband of one wife Children who believe (not accused of dissipation or rebellion) Above reproach as God’s steward Not self-willed Not quick tempered Not addicted to wine Not pugnacious Not fond of sordid gain Hospitable Loving what is good Sensible Just Devout Self-controlled Holding fast the faithful word

Inclusive Qualities… OR Specified Itemized/codified list If itemized/codified list: The same list to Timothy/Titus… not differences. Need for stricter qualifying terms, eliminating ambiguity: Example: children under control: vs. believing children If mature, godly leaders: look for qualities (as noted in similar lists) that manifest godly, peaceable, sound LEADERS Do not get dogmatic over expressions that could have multiple meanings: “husband of one wife” / “believing children.”

DEACONS

Deacons (inclusive/code?) “Likewise”: Men of dignity FIRST TESTED: then they can serve if they are beyond reproach. Not double-tongued Not addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain, but holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience Women deacons… or wives of deacons (but NOT wives of elders?): v. 11 (cp. Rom. 16:1)

PREACHERS

Preachers We use the term “preacher” to distinguish from “pastor” (as noted in denominations).* We have our traditional practices/expectations that “pastorize” preachers: Visiting the sick. Jas. 5:14 Shepherding from the pulpit. Preachers are ministers of evangelism (Rom. 15:16) who also minister the gospel to believers (1 Thess. 3:1-2). FYI – some denominational churches use “pastor” as one of several shepherds in their church.
