About this episode

This episode discusses the character and qualifications needed for church leaders based on 1 Timothy 3.

The credibility of any church rises or falls with the character of its leaders. In this sermon on 1 Timothy 3, we walk through Paul's qualifications for elders and deacons and discover that the bar isn't about heroic achievements, it's about the quiet, daily faithfulness of a life shaped by the gospel.
