SERVANT LEADERSHIP • CHRIST-CENTERED VISION
We Follow the Lord and Our Leader
“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJV)
For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach - Titus 1:7-14
