Titus 1:6 One Wife
Manage episode 481454851 series 3119094
This podcast delves into the qualifications of elders (overseers, bishops) as outlined in Titus 1, emphasizing character over intellect and the importance of a godly home life. The discussion explores the scriptural requirements, including marital status (debating whether being married is mandatory), the pastoral gift as an ordained office, and the elder's role in shepherding, teaching, and even healing. Pastor Anthony Uvenio examine differing interpretations of relevant scriptures, referencing commentaries and contrasting views on polygamy, childlessness, and the significance of believing children. The podcast highlights the crucial role of elders as chief authorities in the church, responsible for guarding God's word and leading their congregations. The study touches upon the Roman Catholic Church's stance on priestly celibacy for comparison. Finally, the episode stresses the importance of stewardship—caring for God's people—and concludes with a call to action for strong faith and evangelism, foreshadowing a future discussion on sound doctrine.#elders #churchleadership #biblicalleadership #pastoralministry #titus1 #1timothy3 #churchgovernment #spiritualgifts #shepherding #sounddoctrine
