9/27/26 Sunday Service from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: Luke Stoltzfus Speaker: Dave Royes Title: Ordered by Elders Scripture: Titus 1:5-9 Sermon Outline: 1. There vision for discipleship we must gain 2. The focus on character we must keep 3. The ordinary means we must use 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. Notes: Godly leaders are God's gift to hulp all of us keep our eyes fixed on the qualities we tend to forget. 1. Introduction A. We live in a world that emphasizes quantity B.
