We all need leaders in the church to help us navigate the lanscape of being in a church with one another. This episode contains a sermon preached at All Souls Church in Missoula, MT, on the qualifications of an elder and what their role in the community looks like. The focus of this sermon is contained in this big idea: As grace expands in depth and width, the gospel needs to be defined and defended, for the sake of the hope of eternity and peace here on earth in God's community.
