We often approach the Old Testament wondering: ‘How in the world does this apply to my life today?’ Perhaps you have been thinking this recently as you have been working through a Bible reading plan. And I understand the struggle. It is not always easy to see the importance of particular Old Testament passages. They seem to be talking about things that have absolutely nothing to do with us and our following after Christ.
THE OFFICE OF ELDER: Other Passages in the New Testament
I. Introduction:
To this point, we have covered the book of Acts and the letters of Paul in our study of the office of elder in New Testament. We have identified a few basic implications thus far and we want to continue to test these with the rest of Scripture as well as noting any others. Tonight, we will be considering three final passages: Hebrews 13:17, James 5:14, and 1 Peter 5:1-7.
