Shepherds Shaped By The Gospel

 • Steve McKenzie • Series: The House of God | A Study in 1 Timothy

What kind of leaders does God trust with His people? In 1 Timothy 3, Paul gives a picture of shepherds who are shaped by the Gospel, not by power or personality. Pastor Steve explains how God’s blueprint for church leadership calls for men of character who reflect Christ’s heart. This message speaks to anyone who has been hurt by church leadership or who carries the weight of leading others. God’s standard for leadership is not perfection but faithfulness, and when His grace forms the heart of a shepherd, the whole church flourishes.
