We continue our study of presbyterian church government and look at the offices of elder and deacon.

There may not be anything that is much worse for an organization than to have undefined roles for the people who serve in those organizations. This often happens with large corporations. It's actually the things of plots of television shows and movies where you see people who have worked for a company that's been around so long and they've done certain things and sometimes people aren't even sure what their jobs are. Their roles were at one time defined, but it becomes a thing of comedic error to find that they don't even know why they're there or what they're doing.

What does the Bible really say about how the Church should be governed? Is it just a matter of preference—or has God actually given us a pattern for leadership in His Church?

In this sermon, Pastor Mark explains why the form of church government matters. Drawing from both Old and New Testament passages, we see that Christ rules His Church not through lone leaders or distant hierarchies but through servant-hearted elders working together. This model, found throughout Scripture, protects the flock and proclaims the gospel with clarity and unity.
