Gospel-Driven Godliness and Church Leadership, Part 5
To aid Titus and the Cretan churches in appointing qualified elders so that the churches are properly ordered, Paul, in vv. 6-9, sets forth three areas where an elder must be “above reproach.” The three areas where a prospective elder must be free of a damaging accusation are his family life, personal life and doctrinal life. In v. 9, Paul sets forth the most important qualification, namely an elder must be above reproach in his doctrinal life.
Gospel-Driven Godliness and Church Leadership, Part 4
To aid Titus and the Cretan churches in appointing qualified elders so that the churches are properly ordered, Paul, in vv. 6-9, sets forth three areas where an elder must be “above reproach.” The three areas where a prospective elder must be free of a damaging accusation are his family life, personal life and doctrinal life. The first area a prospective elder must be above reproach is in his family life. He must be the husband of one wife and have faithful children. Second, an elder must not only be able to manage his own marriage and family well (1:6) but he must also be able to manage himself well. Therefore, in vv. 7-8, Paul lists five sinful vices and six godly virtues, which define what it means for an elder to be “above reproach” in his personal life. These eleven qualities, which are evidence of God's transforming grace, are essential to fitness for oversight of God's household.

Basic Training
Elders are men who have exempified the same spiritual growth and maturity we expect of ourselves as followers of Jesus. They simply fill a specific role of shepherd and overseer.
Church Leadership 2
Larry Hayes and Bob Griffin, the elders of New Life Christian Church, share (in that order) another sermon on leadership. New Life is blessed to have two men who love God's Word and people and desire others to do the same.
Shepherds - Live and Die for Sheep!
Pastors are not called to be professionals. They have a higher calling. Shepherds are called to be protectors. Overseers are called to be the stewards of Christ's bride, shepherds of His blood bought sheep. Pastors are called to live with the sheep and die for the sheep for the glory of God and the good of His people.
