Elder's Qualifications - Part 1

The Doctrine of the Church – Pt5

Today's message takes another look at leadership in the church, specifically, elders and their qualifications.

It is interesting to learn what God has set down as requirements for those who are to lead us spiritually.

Pastor Ron opens up these scriptures and brings us a teaching that really applies to all of us even if we are not leaders in the church.
