Hi! My name is Glen.

1 Tim 5:17 All elders who give good leadership

in the church are worthy of double honour

especially those who work hard at preaching

and teaching. 18 As the Bible says, “Don’t

muzzle an ox as it treads out the grain” and,

“A workman is worthy of his wages.” 19 Don’t

support an accusation against an elder unless

it is validated by the testimony of two or three

different witnesses.

1 Tim 5:20 Those who are guilty of wrongdoing

should be rebuked before the whole church so

that everyone might be warned.

21 I strongly testify before God, Christ Jesus

and the elect angels that you should do all of

these things without prejudice and do nothing

from partiality. 22 Don’t lay hands hastily on

anyone or become a participator in the sins of

others. Keep yourself pure.

1 Tim 5:23 (Start taking a little wine, rather

than water only, for your frequent stomach

ailments.)

24 Some people’s sins are obvious even before

you make your own assessment but the sins of

others appear later. 25 People’s good deeds

are also obvious and even if they are not

immediately noticed they won’t stay hidden

for long.

A Culture of

Kingdom Leadership

1 Tim 5:17 All elders who give good leadership

in the church are worthy of double honour

and teaching.

Why Leadership matters…

Leadership != Godly Leadership

1 Tim 5:18 As the Bible says, “Don’t muzzle an

ox as it treads out the grain” and, “A workman

is worthy of his wages.” 19 Don’t support an

accusation against an elder unless it is

validated by the testimony of two or three

different witnesses.

The Role of Community…

1 Tim 5:20 Those who are guilty of wrongdoing

should be rebuked before the whole church so

that everyone might be warned.

Everything is not awesome…

1 Tim 5:21 I strongly testify before God, Christ

Jesus and the elect angels that you should do

all of these things without prejudice and do

nothing from partiality. 22 Don’t lay hands

hastily on anyone or become a participator in

the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

Be picky about some things…

1 Tim 5:23 (Start taking a little wine, rather

than water only, for your frequent stomach

ailments.)

24 Some people’s sins are obvious even before

you make your own assessment but the sins of

others appear later. 25 People’s good deeds

are also obvious and even if they are not

immediately noticed they won’t stay hidden

for long.

Because there’s no rush…
