Appointing Elders July 9, 2017 Upper West Manhattan Church of Christ

Looking for men… 1.…According to God’s standard and instruction. Not what we think, but what God has said Is the burden on the side of having an eldership… or on the side of not putting in unqualified men? We must appoint godly, qualified Elders Pressure to have elders in place Pressure to not wrongly appoint

Looking for men… 2.…Above reproach. “No serious accusation can be brought against them” This seems to be the organizing principle in the qualification lists.

Looking for men… 2.…Above reproach. “No serious accusation can be brought against them” This seems to be the organizing principle in the qualification lists. If we imagine an accusation being brought forward, how do we react?

Looking for men… 3.…to be Family Leaders. Elders over Israel: City, Tribe, Nation Fathers of the people (Joshua 24:15) Ideally, we are selecting the kind of person you WANT to go to when you have problems.

Looking for men… 4.…who have proven themselves in their family. Family is testing ground and training ground. Children are often the most accurate showcase of who someone really is. (1 Tim 5:24-25) We may wish a guy handled things differently (matters of judgment)… but how did his children turn out?

Looking for men… 5.…that we will follow and trust Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. (Hebrews 13:17, ESV) Looking for men… Now I urge you, brothers — you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints — be subject to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer. I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have made up for your absence, for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such people. (1 Corinthians 16:15-18) 5.…that we will follow and trust Not appointing convenient decision-makers We appoint Spiritual Leaders They are men to follow and trust Are you willing to follow godly leaders? Lets give a hypothetical… Right now, what are the things you know you can do to step up without having an elder to tell you and make you?
