Shepherds of the Flock | Acts 20:1-38

August 22, 2021

Pastor Joshua Lim

In our cultural moment, there is a deep suspicion of all kinds of institutions and authorities - whether the government, corporations, the media, and even the church. But God in His goodness and wisdom has designated elders to exercise leadership in the church. Elders in the church are shepherds of the flock, who are to have the character qualities of personal integrity, missional intensity, faithful longevity, and joyful generosity. And as shepherds, elders have been entrusted with the ministry responsibilities of leading, protecting, and teaching the church. In so doing, these shepherds of the flock look like and lead like the True Shepherd - Jesus Christ.
