This morning we had the joy of ordaining new elders. Pastor James teaches through Titus 1:5-9 as we learn about the requirements for family life, character, and doctrine of elders.

"So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight…" - 1 Peter 5:1-2

1. Elders Must Be Above Reproach in Family Life
2. Elders Must Be Above Reproach in Character
3. Elders Must Be Above Reproach in Doctrine

“A pastor needs two voices, one for gathering the sheep and the other for driving away wolves and thieves.” - John Calvin

"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
