The Qualifications of Elders DVD

Description

ELDERS

It is God’s desire for every congregation of His people to have elders.
Not just anyone, however, can be an elder.
In I Timothy 3 and Titus 1 God has laid out specific qualifications for men
who would serve in this role.

What is an elder? What are the qualifications to serve in this capacity? What is a congregation to do if it doesn’t have qualified men? In this series of four thirty-minute lessons, Don Blackwell and Glenn Colley sit down with open Bibles and answer these important questions.
