The Need for Elders “When they had appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.” (Acts 14:23) “For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you” (Titus 1:5)

“ELDER” in the NT episkopos = overseer presbuterion = elder poimen = pastor/shepherd

Responsibilities of Elders

Shepherd the flock I Peter 5:1-5 Ezekiel 34:1-10

Guard the flock Acts 20: 28-30 “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.”

Pray for the flock James 5:13-18 “Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;” (James 5:14)

The Response to Elders

Obey & Submit to them “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.” (Hebrews 13:17)

Honor them 1 Timothy 5:17-20

Pray for his Under-Shepherds! Follow THEE Shepherd… Pray for his Under-Shepherds!

“What a contrast to those cared for by a loving shepherd, a faithful pastor. The shepherd who tends his flock year after year, feeding them a steady diet of God’s truth, finds over time he has nurtured a healthy band of maturing believers, people who are willing to step out in faith and trust God to dream great dreams.

In the fulfilled flock, friendships flourish, a caring community is encouraged, laughter abounds, emotional wounds are treated, and peace prevails. The pastor’s preaching is marked by positive words of exhortation as well as loving warnings of dangers in the road ahead. Compassion flows freely. Enthusiasm is contagious.” --Chuck Swindoll
