Jonathan said to the attendant who carried his weapons, “Come on, let’s cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will help us. Nothing can keep the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.” Holman Christian Standard Bible
Feb 26, 2018 · We have seen Samuel interceding on behalf of the Israelites after they demanded a King over them. We have seen Job interceding for his friends who blasphemed God’s name and nature, and they were spared. So it is OK if I put my hope in these good men to save me from God’s wrath.

We need men who desire to be elders. “Desire” means “to seek after with a strong desire; to set one’s heart upon.” This is an office that is to be desired. We need men who say, “I want to be an elder.” We need teens who say, “I want to be an elder.” He who wants to be an elder desires a good work. “Good” means “noble,” “honorable,” “excellent,” “be...
Paul talks about the type of lives elders need to live. Elders are to be blameless. An elder is to be irreproachable, not open to attack. In a political campaign, candidates look for their opponents’ possible wrongdoings and then exploit those. Elders shouldn’t have “skeletons in the closet”-there shouldn’t be anything about an elder that can be at...
An elder is to rule his family well. He is to teach his children to submit. He is to teach them to submit to him and to God. This is to be done with all reverence, respect. An elder is to teach his children respect. Respect is a lost art in today’s culture, and elders’ children should be an example of respect. If a man cannot rule his own household...
An elder must be a man with experience in the church-he cannot be a novice. A novice wouldn’t know enough about the church to lead-he wouldn’t know enough of what the church stands for to protect her. He wouldn’t have the wisdom and insight necessary. If a novice becomes an elder, he might be puffed up. He might really think he’s something. After a...
He needs to have a good reputation among non-Christians. There’s nothing like the Jimmy Swaggert’s and Jim Bakker’s of the world to give the church a bad name. After all, if the leaders can’t behave, why should anyone else? A Malay proverb says, “It is better to die with a good name, than to lie with a bad one.” If he doesn’t have a good reputation...
Elders must be good men and we need good men to be elders. But, these qualifications for elders should be something we all work toward, because we’ll be better people for it. Are you working toward meeting these qualifications? Are you a good person? This sermon was originally preached by Dr. Justin Imel, Sr., at the Main Street church of Christ in...
Nov 15, 2009 · What God is looking for is few good men and women of faith who will hear His voice and rise in faith. Are you among the few who are ready, watching and dressed for battle? The date was December 7, 1941; a day that President Franklin D. Roosevelt called, “A day that will live in infamy.”
