Since a church will not progress beyond its leadership, appointing elders is a vital task that requires a clear understanding of Christian doctrine. As shepherds of the flock, elders work together to assure that God’s Word is taught, God’s Son is honored, and God’s people are edified. Alistair Begg explains that biblical eldership is pastoral, plural, spiritual, and accountable: diverse in giftedness and function, elders are accountable to God as they share the privileges and responsibilities of leadership. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:1-5, Exodus 18:13-27 Preached: September 2, 2018 Find more sermons by Alistair Begg at https://www.tfl.org/sermons
