The Gathering of Believers 3.1

July 11, 2021

Rev. Dennis R. Hartman

We have been examining the conduct of those who have received Salvation by faith in Christ; those that belong to the gathering of believers. There are things recorded for us in the Scripture that we should follow if we belong to Christ. Here in 1 Timothy we are looking at how believers are to conduct themselves in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. Last time we saw that the work of the overseer/elder/pastor(s) consists of diligence in the word; stewardship of the word; teaching the word; preaching the word; equipping with the word; exhorting, reproving, correcting with the word; and instructing in the word. This is the job or task that has been given to them by God in His order of things. The second part of this is who are these leaders. Who can become a leader, and what should they be like. Hopefully we will paint a picture for you to see what an overseer/elder/pastor should be.
