On Sunday, Elliot Grudem will be preaching from 1 Timothy 5:17-24 in our House Rules series. His topic will be “Honoring Leaders”. I asked Elliot to preach this passage for two reasons. First, Elliot loves Jesus and the Church. We can be certain that the gospel of Jesus Christ will remain central as he preaches this passage. He also loves the church and has committed his life toward seeing her thrive. Second, Elliot loves pastors and know what it means to honor them appropriately. His experience and insight will help us apply this passage well to our context as we seek to be a church that holds up Jesus so that He can be seen and savored.
Exodus, we are fortunate to have Elliot with us on Sunday. I hope that you will come expectant and ready to hear from God as we gather for worship.
