Office & Gifts
Differentiate between “Office” (Elders & Deacons) and “Gifts”
Foundational Gifts

enquiry,” “investigation,” “examination
Elder - Scribes

Paul upholds honour for Elders

return...
High Risk / Sacrifical
Persecution
Attacks from False Teachers
Do not look down upon the overseer
Let no one dispise him because he does not have ALL the special gifts
The Office should seek the man, not the man the office
Paul often speaks against Sinful Ambition
Paul does not here praise “aspiration” but rather the “task”
Noble work:
Behaviour to Others: Publically in Keeping with Christian Teaching
Above Reproach (list defines the meaning)
Not to be confused with Sinless
Not Subject to the need for Church Discipline
When accusations are made:
he is found to be without blame when using an appropriate and reasonable investiagtion and assessment of evidence
Behaviour around Christians
husband of one wife - man of one woman (one woman man) - prohibits promiscuity and homosexuality
sober-minded - “sober”
self-controlled - “of sound mind” - rational, discretion, modesty, wisdom
respectable - “moral”
hospitable
When visiting Christians meet him does he present as a Christian should?
Is he a good example of a Christian to other Christians?
The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament:
“Between the stranger and those around him there is reciprocal tension.
He is a man from without, strange, hard to fathom, surprising, unsettling, sinister.
But to the stranger his odd and different environment is also disturbing and threatening”
Able to teach
able to go away study God’s Word
correctly assess the teaching of God’s Word
and correctly proclaim the Word of God
that proclaimation is able to “teach” (thus the recipient “learns”)
Behaviour around non-Christians
NOT:
not a drunkard - not an alcholic
not violent but gentle
not: “eager or quick to argue, quarrel, or fight”
but: “what is fitting, right, or fair & impartial”
not quarrelsome - “physical combat in the military sense”
“War of Words” - unjustified grumbling, legal disputes threatening others, make false accusations
“cause death to the soul”
not a lover of money
is he safe with the church funds (vs Judas Iscariot )
sell out believers
Manage his Household
Does he have authority in his own household?
manage his own household well
with dignity keeping his children submissive
choice not fear
Not a recent convert
Thought well of by Outsiders

Closing Prayer
Doxology(read) –
NOT TO US BE GLORY GIVEN
but to him who reigns above:
Glory to the God of heaven
for his faithfulness and love!
What though unbelieving voices
hear no word and see no sign,
still in God my heart rejoices,
working out his will divine.
