Needed

June 18, 2023 • Pastor Curt Lowry • Titus 1:5–9

In Titus 1:5-9, Paul is giving Titus a “Big Ministry Assignment.” He is to “Set Things In Order” and to “Appoint Elders in Every City” on the Island of Crete. These Elders had to be “Qualified” in order to become leaders in Christ’s Church. Some of the qualifications are given in these 5 verses. There are several other Scriptural Passages that should be included when considering Elder qualifications. (I Tim. 3; I Peter 5)
