I Timothy 3:1-7 Qualifications of Overseers 1 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. (Bishop, overseer, elder, senior leadership)

What are the requirements? 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;

3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

I. Very few are able to meet all the requirements How well do you do?

II. All of us have areas of weakness to work on Are you making progress?

III. All of us can aim to meet these characteristics A.Not all will have a formal position of leadership in the church B.All should aspire to leadership – at least in bring others to Christ

Every Christian must have a good testimony among those who are outside. What can you do to improve yours? The devil wants to make YOU a reproach to Christ What will you do today to steal his joy? The Conclusion
