October 25: Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
Biblical Church Government: The Role of the Elder — Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost
In the New Testament, the office of pastor is not different than the office of the elder. Instead, God calls elders to do the work of shepherding the flock.
Biblical Church Government: The Role of the Pastor — Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
The Christian pastor’s job is not to do the work of the ministry, but to equip the church to do the work of the ministry.
Biblical Church Government: The Body of Christ — Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Jesus rules over his kingdom, not through solo human leaders, and not through the mechanics of democracy, but through the body of Christ, the Christian Church.
Biblical Church Government, under God — Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
Since God is the king of the universe, all authorities and leadership structures are designed to work under His authority, on His behalf. Any successful system of church government must function as an expression of the rule of God in Christ.
