An exposition of 1 Timothy 3:1 examining the nature and legitimacy of a man's desire for the office of elder. Drawing on Albert N. Martin's Pastoral Theology, the sermon considers what it means for a man to aspire to the episcopate, how that desire is to be understood, tested, and distinguished from mere self-promotion, and what Scripture teaches about the office itself as a good work. Main points: - the meaning and legitimacy of a man's desire for eldership - the character of a rightly ordered aspiration toward the ministry - the office of elder as a good work and its significance for the church Scripture references: - 1 Timothy 3:1-15 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-3-the-qualifications-for-elders-part-1-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

Though I sat under Albert Martin's Ministry in 1984-1985, From the years 2009-to 2020 I was his neighbor and computer tech and tutor. There was a reason that I was given this privilege. This is my assessment and reflections that I have been contemplating when we heard that he passed away on April 7th. how the end of his life on earth affected me.

Update about our trip to New Jersey for our son's wedding. Also, while we were going to the church that Albert Martin pastored for 46 years, we discovered he had passed into heaven just a few hours before. So I wanted to honor him from my own experience from my days at TBC and over 11 years as his neighbor, and close friend as I began teaching him how to use a personal computer and served him anytime he needed us to come over and fix a printer, or even line up the rows in his email program. It was such a privilege.
