Message: “Go Slow in Selecting Elders” from Matt Chapin
Matt Chapin - March 1, 2026
Go Slow in Selecting Elders
This Sunday we conclude the rest of Paul's thoughts on elders; this time dealing with the selection of elders. Like other relationships in life, time is the acid test. This Sunday we'll look at the wisdom of Paul's process in choosing elders.
Scripture References: 1 Timothy 5:22-25
From Series: "1 Timothy: Life in God's House"
In 1 Timothy, "life in God's house" refers to the church as a spiritual family, where believers, led by elders who manage their own homes well, learn to behave with truth, respect, and godly order, upholding Scripture as the pillar of truth, and caring for each other like family—from supporting widows to treating all members with familial honor, creating a community that reflects Christ's character.
