Paul would say to Timothy (1Timothy 3:1, NIV),ġ Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer (a church leader) he desires a noble task.
Reason Number One: God may call you someday to be a spiritual leader in the church. Let me offer four reasons why this message is relevant to your life. I am not a leader in the church so what does this sermon have to do with me?” While this message possesses special relevance to church leaders, I believe that it is applicable to everyone. Some of you may be thinking, at the outset, “Why should I be interested in a sermon addressing church leaders. These men are now given the sacred duty of leading the flock of God and leading the church, so Paul gives them one last charge as they consider their responsibilities before God. Paul has enjoyed a deep friendship with these men as he lived among them for years loving them through his service, his sacrifice, and his teaching.
Paul gives counsel and encouragement to the elders at the church in Ephesus on this last retreat that he will ever have with them. This is the audience that Paul addresses in Acts 20. The message I bring to you specifically focuses on church leaders.
