Luke 22:61-23:34
Luke 22:61-62 – This is a good example of how we should react when we sin.

March 02, 2016A Study on Elders, Part 1
Titus 1:5; Acts 14:23 – Churches did exist without elders and they had the same functions as those that did. However, churches in general function better with qualified elders.
Three things are necessary for a local church to appoint elders:
Men who meet the standard set by God
Men who are willing to take on the role and responsibilities
Men who are acceptable to the congregation
Some qualifications for elders are absolute and some are not.
There are several different words for the same role: Acts 20:17, 28; Titus 1:7; I Peter 5:2
Elders
Bishops
Shepherds (Ezekiel 34:1-10)
Overseers
Elders are limited in their function to the congregation over which they have been appointed.

February 24, 2016Galatians, Part 11
Galatians 6:1-18
Galatians 6:10 – Note that the context here does not include benevolence. The context concerns helping those who are caught in a trespass. We are to help all that we encounter that are struggling with sin, but especially fellow Christians.
Galatians 6:11 – Some try to argue that Paul had large handwriting, indicating poor eyesight, but there is not much support for this. The Greek word translated “letter(s)” here means document, letter, or written law, which seems to indicate that Paul was referring to his volume of writing.
