Who is an Elder?

November 23, 2025 Preacher: John Bell Series: The Pastoral Epistles

Passage: Titus 1:1–16

Question: Who is an elder?
Answer: An elder is a model of God’s word in his character forged by much prayer, who capably and prayerfully teaches God’s Word.

  1. Paul’s greeting to Titus (1-4)
  2. Qualifications to eldership (5-9)
  3. Why such qualifications are necessary: opposers of the gospel must be silenced (10-16)

 

*This sermon owes a debt of some exegesis and application on Titus 1:5:9 to Pastor Paul W. Martin (Grace Fellowship Church)
