LEADERSHIP

Sirach 7:29-31

Fear the Lord with all your soul
And honor His priests.
Love Him who made you
And do not forsake His ministers.
Fear the Lord and honor His priests,
And give them their portion as commanded:
The firstfruits, the trespass offering,
The gift of the shoulder offering,
The sacrifice of sanctification,
And the firstfruits of the holy things.

Encouraging Words

We have been blessed throughout the history of the Church and the teachings of the scriptures to have a leadership model to follow. Our Church is hierarchical by design and has rigorous requirements for the selection of those in leadership and expectations for their duties and responsibilities. As members of the Church, we are expected to respect those who have been called to leadership over us and support them in their roles. We should make sure that they are taken care of since they dedicate their lives to the body of Christ. God created this order of leadership so that the Church would thrive and survive in a disordered world. Glory be to God!
