Who leads the church, and how does God care for His people?

In this message from 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Pastor Stephen teaches on God’s design for church leadership and reminds us that Jesus Himself is the head of the church. He is our true authority, our great Shepherd, and the One who faithfully leads His people.

This sermon explores the role of elders and deacons, the importance of character over gifting, and how God strengthens His church through faithful leadership. We’re reminded that leaders are meant to be under-shepherds, accountable to Christ, and that the church flourishes when leadership is received with trust and joy.

Above all, this message points us to Jesus, the leader of leaders, who laid down His life for His people and never fails to guide His church.
