The apostles of the church were dedicated to the gospel and to the church to the point of death. Of Jesus’ twelve apostles, all were martyred except John the Beloved but he did die in imprisoned exile. The apostle Paul also faced a martyr's death from beheading. Luke’s account of Jesus’ life and ministry was followed with a second volume we now call the Acts of the Apostles [ΠΡΑΞΕΙΣ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΩΝ]. Chapters 19 to 28 recount Paul’s journey to Jerusalem where he would be arrested and sent to Rome for trial. “Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaea and to Jerusalem, saying’ After I have been there, I must also see Rome.’” [Acts 19:21] Many of the great epistles of the New Testament were penned by Paul during his Roman imprisonment. Thus, Luke shares with us Paul’s farewell address to the elders of the church in Ephesus, a congregation where the apostle spent nearly three years in discipleship and teaching [Acts 19]. His journey through Macedonia eventually to Miletus bypassed Ephesus but Paul desired one last word with the elders of the great churches in Ephesus. The encouragement from Paul to the elders is an important instruction for the church and her leadership today. Let’s dig into Acts 20:17-38 to hear the passion of Paul for the beloved elders of Christ’s Church in Ephesus.

What does a healthy one look like?   My name is Norman and my goal is to help you Run Your Race Well, not just Surviving but Thriving as a Disciple of Jesus! There are a LOT of things you could do with your life, but I don't think anything compares with following Jesus and joining Him on His mission of bringing Hope to the nations. Thanks for including me in your journey!   So how do you find a good church to be part of? Not always so easy! In some parts of the world there are few choices so it means sticking with one that may be less than ideal in many cases. In other context, most anywhere in the USA for example, there are too many choices. It is hard to even visit most of them! So where do you begin?   I am old fashioned so I always begin with people. Ask someone you know in the area, a fellow believer, to give you recommendations. Ask believers who may be familiar with the area or have family there to give you recommendations. At the least you can rule out some options and put an asterisk by others.   I believe Baptist doctrine is intended to be an honest attempt to be Biblical doctrine so Baptist or Baptistic churches will be my first stop. With naming of churches being what it is these days that doesn't mean Baptist will be in the name! Many Baptist churches, Bible churches, Community churches, and as well as non-denominational churches have similar if not identical doctrinal statements. I would like to see a churches doctrinal statement but the difficulty comes in when you begin visiting churches to see how they live it out. Baptist doctrine does not always equal Biblical practice unfortunately.   A church website can tell you who a church is, beliefs and creeds, etc. A website can show you a lot of what a church does, service times, small groups, counseling ministry, etc. A website cannot really let you get to know a church. That takes time with the church, the people who make up the local body.   So what do you look for?   Mark Dever wrote a book, The 9 Marks of a Healthy Church. The 9 Marks he gives are: 1. Expositional Preaching, 2. Biblical Theology, 3. The Gospel, 4. A Biblical Understanding of Conversion, 5. A Biblical Understanding of Evangelism, 6. A Biblical Understanding of Church Membership, 7. Biblical Church Discipline, 8. Concern for Discipleship and Growth, 9. Biblical Church Leadership.   The IMB has an article on the 12 Characteristics of a Healthy Church. https://www.imb.org/2016/08/31/2016083112-characteristics-healthy-church/ The article actually precedes all of these with the word Biblical! I suppose it is good not to assume anything! The 12 Characteristics they list are: Evangelism, Discipleship, Membership, Leadership, Teaching and Preaching, Ordinances, Worship, Prayer, Fellowship, Accountability and Discipline, Giving, Mission   All of these are good to think about but they are long lists. I want to emphasize a few specific things.   Foundation of God's Word: The bible is taught and is followed. There should be a real love for God and His word. Jesus is lifted up as the standard for our behavior, attitudes and relationships. God's Word is lived out by His people. There is a commitment to do what it says.   Emphasis on Active Obedience: Hand in hand with the biblical foundation in the teaching is an emphasis on living it out. Practical daily obedience and a willingness to follow Jesus are encouraged and supported. Each person is challenged to be a Berean, actively reading the bible themselves and making personal application. The goal should be for every believer to be a self-feeding Christian who is engaged with others on the mission of Jesus to bring God's message of reconciliation to the world.   Training and Encouragement toward being a Disciple Maker: Following Jesus results in people pouring out their lives for others. Sacrificially giving time and resources to see the Family of God grow in maturity and faith is natural and necessary. Members are motivated, trained and released to serve the church and the community.   Focus on Life and Ministry outside of the building: Church life is the life of the people, not the service times printed in the bulletin. Relationships are encouraged, living the “one another's” is practiced. Small groups are utilized to train leaders, share the gospel, build up new believers and provide ongoing accountability and encouragement for all.   The command to Love one another is lived out: Forgiveness, confession, sharing testimonies of God's grace and the like are common and considered natural. Perfection is not expected, mistakes are. All kinds of people with all kinds of problems are welcomed and embraced with Grace and Love.   It's all good to look for a good church to be a part of. It is a task to take seriously. Just don't look for a perfect church. It doesn't exist. Look for a church you can contribute to and help to be the church God intends it to be. Invest in the lives of others in the church. Commit to be a giver to the church. Make ti your goal to build up every member and to make Jesus the center of every relationship. The church is, and will remain, a messy group to be a part of. But God loves His bride and we should too! OUTRO Thanks for joining me today! Check out runwithhorses.net for show notes and past shows.

PART 5 – Michael Penfold looks at the issue of “church leadership” (identification, designation, qualification, classification). Today's mainline denominations use a hierarchical form of governance involving regional bishops. Large independent evangelical churches tend to have a group of “Pastors” who are responsible to a “board of elders”. Are either of these models scriptural? If not, what is the biblical model for assembly leadership? Readings: Acts 20:17, 28, 1 Pet 5:1-4, Titus 1:5-9. (Message preached in Manchester, CT, USA, 28th Mar The post What is the Biblical Church Leadership Model? (54 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.

Sermon by Preaching Elder Billy Dalton Sermon Notes can be found at:

As we near the final episodes of the "ON HEALTHY CHURCH" series, we discuss what Biblical Church Leadership is. It's obviously not simple to apply the church leadership structure of a first century church to our day. But seeking to understand and apply the truth we find in scripture pays dividends in creating a healthy church culture.

This sermon is the first message in Redeemer's series, "Church Basics," from Peter 5:1-5.

There are two Biblical Church Leadership Offices: Elders & Deacons. DEACONS ARE NOT A REQUIRED OFFICE OF LEADERSHIP FOR ALL CHURCHES. DEACONS HOLD A BIBLICALLY QUALIFIED OFFICE OF LEADERSHIP IN THE CHURCH. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF BIBLICAL ELDERS, THE OVERSEERS From Alexander Strauch's book -Paul's Vision for the Deacons: Assisting the Elders with the Care of God's Church . · Lead the church of God (1 Tim. 5:17) · Exercise oversight: manage, supervise (1 Peter 5:2) · Teach the people God's Word (1 Tim. 3:2; 2 Tim. 2:2; Titus 1:9) · Equip and prepare the saints for Christian ministry (Eph. 4:11–12) · Labor in preaching and teaching (1 Tim. 5:17) · Model Christian leadership (1 Peter 5:3) · Shepherd, that is, pastor the whole church (1 Peter 5:2): feed, protect, lead, and heal (Acts 20:28) · Judge doctrinal disputes (Acts 15:2–30; 16:4; 21:20–25) · Guard the church from false teachers (Acts 20:28–31; Titus 1:9–10) · Care for the church of God (1 Tim. 3:5) · Help those within the church who are weak (Acts 20:35) · Pray for the sick and anoint them with oil (James 5:14–15) · Lay hands on certain gifted individuals (1 Tim. 4:14) · Handle church finances (Acts 11:29–30; 1 Peter 5:2) · Represent their local church to other churches (Acts 11:30; 15:4, 22–23; 21:18–19) · Held accountable by God the Father (Heb. 13:17) 1 TIMOTHY 3:8–13 (ESV) 8Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. 9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. 11Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus. Deacons are qualified like Elders v8 - 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Deacons are qualified by character v8 - Dignified - Not double tongued - Not addicted to much wine - Not greedy for dishonest gain Deacons are qualified by their confession v9 - Holding the faith with a clear conscience Deacons are qualified in community v12 - Qualified in the church - Qualified in his family DEACONS HOLD A GOOD STANDING AND GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THE FAITH. 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

The NT was written by apostles doing church in the house to people doing church in the house- To lift leadership out of the context of the home and put it in an auditorium only gives rise to dysfunction and abuse and error.

How is the church supposed to operate day to day? What part does the congregation play and what part do the pastors and deacons play? We begin to answer these questions as we look at the early church and the clear principles from God's Word the day to day working of the church. The answers will probably not be what you expected.

 This is the second sermon in a series on the book of Titus, covering Titus 1:5-9:This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.For the complete sermon series, visit www.Go2Grace.org/Titus Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/reasonabletheology)
