 Leadership Defined in the Church



In the New Testament, the Bible gives good, solid principles for church leadership. Christian books are good resources, however the Bible should be the first source we consult when trying to decipher the role of a church leader. While the following passages may not conclude the leaders' roles in the church, it gives a good foundation. The leaders' roles are defined and the way people should treat those leaders are revealed in the following scriptures.
 
Acts 6:1-7 Appointing and delegating authority to Spirit-filled leaders and laying hands on them is appropriate.
Acts 13:1-4 Through fasting and prayer, people should listen and hear God's calling.
Acts 20:27-31   The people of God need to be fed and shepherded. They need to know the Word.
John 21:15-17 The sheep of God need to be fed by people who know and love Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13   There are many different roles that need to be filled in the church.
Philippians 1:1 We should be servants of Christ to all people.
Philippians 2:20-22   Seek the things of Christ and you should be like-minded with other believers.
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 Recognize and show love to spiritual leaders. Be at peace with people, also.
1 Timothy 3:1   To have the desire of being a bishop is a good aspiration.
1 Timothy 5:17 Elders who rule well and labor in the Word and in doctrine should receive double honor.
1 Peter 5:1, 2  Greet, honor and obey people who rule over you. Be submissive to rulers.
