As God established His plans for churches, He knew that guidance and oversight would be essential. Rather than creating elaborate hierarchies, voting conventions, or impersonal boards of directors, He instead instructed churches to choose men from their number to serve as leaders. The type of leadership they are to give is demonstrated in God designating them shepherds. This sermon will focus on the caliber of man God intends as well as the kind of relationship he is to have with the church he oversees.
