Can We Serve Church “Cafeteria Style”? Lesson 7: Who’s in Charge Here? Leadership in the New Testament Church

Introduction Barnacles on our boat Our approach in this lesson Doctrinal foundation for church leadership The priesthood of all believers The headship of Christ The crucial New Testament text: Matthew 23:1-12 Principles, commands, and apostolic example Conclusion and Application: What New Testament leadership looks like at CBC

Doctrinal Foundation The priesthood of all believers Exodus 19:4-6 Deuteronomy 5:1-5 Deuteronomy 5:22-33 Revelation 1:5-6 Revelation 5:6-14 (especially vss. 9-10) 1 Peter 2:4-10 (especially v. 9) 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9).

The Headship of Christ Exodus 20:3-6 Isaiah 42:6-8 (see Acts 12:20-23) Ephesians 1:18-23 Colossians 2:9-10 Colossians 1:15-20 He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things (Colossians 1:18, NET Bible). And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence (Colossians 1:18, NKJ).

Christ’s Teaching in Matthew 23 The scribes and Pharisees are not good leaders Nevertheless, submit to their teachingDon’t follow their example Their evils exposed: They are hypocrites They are a burden, not a blessing (cp. Gal. 6:1-3) They seek status, rather than service

Lessons in leadership – Jesus style (vss. 8-12) Don’t be called Rabbi – One is your teacher, and you are all brothers Don’t be called father, for God is your Father Don’t be called teacher, for Christ is your Teacher Godly leadership is about humility and service

New Testament commands, principles, and practices Matthew 23:8-12 Titus 1:5 1 Peter 5:1-2 Acts 20:28-31 General principles You are all brothers (Matthew 23:8) Body life (1 Corinthians 12, 14; Ephesians 4 etc.) Spiritual gifts (including teaching and leading)

Principles on how to lead Not like the scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 23:1-12) Not like the Gentiles (Matthew 20:20-28) Not like the “false apostles” (2 Corinthians 11:20) But like Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30; 12:17-21; Philippians 2:1-11) And like Paul (Acts 20:17-35; 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12) And like Peter learned (1 Peter 5:1-5)

New Testament practice (plurality of leaders) Acts 6:1-6 Acts 13:1-4 Acts 14:23 Acts 15 Acts 20:17-35

Conclusion: Where the Rubber Meets the Road No laity-clergy distinction Two offices: elders and deacons (no office of pastor) What does this look like. . . In our worship meeting In our teaching In our elders meetings Copyright © 2008 by Robert L. Deffinbaugh.
