So much about leadership these days focuses on skills, with little emphasis put on character. Not so with God in His word. Last week Greg talked about elders/overseers in the church. In the second message of this series we will look at who they are, or should be, at their core.

When we witness failures in church leaders it's tempting to think we should just go it alone, i.e. all I need is my Bible, I follow Jesus so I don't need a church. But Jesus called the apostles and set up church leadership! So let's look at what He can teach us.

God is not going to leave us hanging; He will deliver on all His promises. Some day we will finally see that He worked all things for good.

We’ve looked at creation, and the intention God had for us. We’ve looked at the ruin, and how it has wrecked everything. We are broken, but in this message we learn that God picks us up to restore us to his works and makes us better.

Humanity is a wreck and news ratings prove that we love to stare at it (if it bleeds, it leads). Last week we looked at the good, God's intention in creation, but this week we'll see the bad. Before you tune out, remember the big picture and the goal of this sermon series: Don’t evaluate your family in the moment, but by all four movements.
