What happens when leaders fail? What does Scripture say about honoring, correcting, and appointing pastors and elders in the church? In 1 Timothy 5:17–25, Paul gives Timothy a blueprint for leadership that balances generosity, accountability, and discernment. In this sermon, Pastor Steve explains how the church can protect the integrity of its leaders without ignoring sin or covering up failure. God calls His people to practice both honor and humility so that the Word of God flourishes and trust is restored.
