Become a respected leader
The world's most precious broadcaster
Hello, dear listeners of Jeju Far East Broadcasting.
Today, I take 1 Timothy 3:1-13 as the main text,
I will speak with the title of Becoming a Respected Leader.
First, let's read the text in a simple Bible.
It is true that anyone who wants to be a bishop must long for a good deed.
Directors should not be pointed at by people.
Therefore, to be the husband of one wife, to be temperate, wise, to be respected
Treat others well and teach well.
He doesn't drink too much, he doesn't like to fight, he acts like a gentleman and calmly,
Don't love money. It also helps children to respect and trust their fathers.
You must take good care of your own household. (How can a person who cannot lead a family properly
Can you lead the Church of God well?)
Don't hire someone you've just trusted to be your overseer.
You may become so proud that you will be punished as the Devil did.
Bishops must also be respected by those outside the church.
That way, you won't be criticized by others, and you won't fall for the devil's tricks.
Like the bishop, the deacon must be respected by the people.
Do not speak two words with one mouth, do not drink and rejoice,
You should not be a person who deceives others to gain your own profit.
Deacons must have a clear conscience and deep truth of faith.
Even such a person should try it first and serve as a deacon if there is nothing to be reproached.
.In the same way, women also receive respect from others,
You must be faithful in everything.
A deacon must be the husband of one wife and take good care of his children and his family.
Those who do well in the office of deacon will occupy a place of honor,
Your faith in Jesus Christ will also be strengthened. -Amen-
This text is about becoming a leader of the church.
This is what Paul said about the qualifications of bishops and deacons.
I've been like that before
Even today, the roles of bishops and deacons in the church are very important.
Therefore, Paul speaks of such a person through the text
After demanding high morality and faith in various ways, it was not enough.
Test them first, and after that if there is nothing against
Verse 10 tells us that he will give the office of a deacon.
To those who would entrust such important positions of overseer or deacon
I said things that should be in common, and one of them is
He said he had to be respected.
First, through verse 2
The director said that he should be respected by people.
Directors should not be pointed at by people. Therefore, he becomes the husband of one wife,
Temperance, wise, respected by people, hospitable to others,
You must teach well. said.
Respect means to respect and respect.
That's right. Anyone who works in the precious work of a holy God
You have to live a life that deserves respect from people.
Second, he said that he should be a father who is respected by his children.
This is verse 4 of the text.
You must also take good care of your own home so that your children can respect and trust their father.
He said over and over again that he should be respected even at home.
Being respected by your children can be one of the hardest things indeed.
However, if you are not respected at home, it can be difficult to be respected outside.
Paul doesn't stop there.
Third, through verse 7, we must be respected even by the Gentiles.
said
Bishops should also be respected by people outside the church.
A person who is so respected in the church, at home, and in society should be the bishop of the church.
The facts have been reiterated.
In addition, speaking of the qualifications of a butler,
Like the bishop, the deacon must be respected by the people. Called
We are talking about verse 8.
Seen in this way, the bishop or official who is to take charge of the precious things in the Church of God is
Emphasize that you must be a respected person.
Jesus also said in Matthew 5,
You are the salt of the world. If salt loses its taste, with what will it be salty?
Salt that has lost its taste becomes useless and is only thrown out and trampled by people.
You are the light of the world. A city on a mountain cannot be hidden. You said.
He said that we must become light and salt in the world. The meaning of these words is also
You have to be respected by the world.
Also, the early church members in Acts 2
He writes that he was praised by everyone.
People who have seen a life of serving, sharing and fellowshipping with each other are living this way.
It was a compliment to the early Christians.
Today, I and all of you are blessed to be the object of such praise.
In addition, according to Acts 6:3-4, the conditions for choosing the seven deacons of the early church are
Brethren, choose from among you seven men of praise, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom.
We will entrust this to them, and we will do nothing to pray or preach the word
He told me to choose a deacon among those who received praise.
Dear listeners of Jeju Far East Broadcasting!
As the year draws to a close, it is time to prepare for the next year.
From now on - those who are preparing for next year
You can be used more preciously and more beautifully before God.
What kind of people should we think we are going to be next year?
I hope you can make up your mind to become a respected person right away.
Today,
Although our Korean church is doing a lot of good and beautiful things,
One of the reasons for not receiving enough recognition from the public is
Because each of us is failing to be respectable at work or at home.
We should strive to have the qualifications of church leaders shown in the text.
I tell the saints who go to the streets and hospitals five times a week
?쁄very word, every action, and expression on your face is a tract.
I tell you often.
Actually it is.
No matter how good the Bible is written on the tract in our
Even if Jesus, the savior of mankind, is introduced,
If our faces that convey it are frowned upon and our words and actions are harsh
Who would want to believe in Jesus?
Dear listeners who love God!
In the new year, let's start now so that we can all be respected people.
Congratulations on becoming a deacon.
Next time, I bless you as a parent who is respected by your children in your home.
Furthermore, I pray that you will become officers who are respected by those who do not believe.
I bless you in the name of Jesus, who is the most fashionable man in the world.
