The Role of Elders in the Church — Part One
The role of elder is critical for the development and success of God’s people. As Alistair Begg shows, all biblical leadership is given shape by Scripture and flows from the lordship of Jesus, who appoints spiritually mature shepherds to oversee and take responsibility for their flocks. Sadly, many are confused or even angered by the idea of submission to the leadership of elders in the church. As Christians, we must understand that God appoints leaders over us for our good.
