This sermon explores the biblical model of church leadership through the lens of Acts 20, emphasizing the qualifications and character of elders as described in 1 Timothy 3. The message defines the roles of elders, overseers, and pastors as servant leaders who shepherd the flock with humility, teaching, and care rather than seeking personal gain or authority. It highlights the importance of a multiplicity of elders and the concept of 'first among equals,' using the recent departure of a long-serving elder couple as a practical example of selfless service and proven character. The preacher encourages the congregation to trust God's promise to raise up new leaders who will remain faithful to the whole counsel of God, pressing forward in their spiritual journey with confidence in His provision.
