Church Leadership 1 Timothy 3:1-13
What do you think qualifies a person to be a leader in the church? How should this be determined?
Read 1 Timothy 3:1. Why does Paul say it is okay to desire to be an elder? What makes it an honorable position?
Read 1 Timothy 3:2-7. What are to be the characteristics of an elder? Why does this not talk about talents and skills?
As you consider this list, why are these important qualities?
Read 1 Timothy 3:8-12. What characteristics for deacons are the same as those for an elder? What things are not the same, or are missing?
Read Acts 6:1-4. Why were deacons necessary? What was their role? How does this relate to deacons in the church today?
Read 1 Timothy 3:13. What is the reward for someone who does well as a deacon? How would these things take place and be experienced?
How can a church determine if someone is qualified for these positions? What should be done if someone is not qualified but desires to be in this position?
Prayer – Pray for your church leaders that they would live out these qualifications. Pray that the Lord would protect and guide those in leadership.
