Titus 1:6-9
In this our 3rd session looking at the qualifications of a godly elder the Apostle Paul in verse 8 begins to look at negative attributes the elder is not to have. In this session we cover the first three – an elder is not arrogant, controlled by anger, or influenced by alcohol.

Titus 1:6-9
We move in our study from the roles and responsibilities of an elder to the qualifications of an elder. In this first part we examine the mandate from Scripture that the office of elder is reserved for men only and that he is to be above reproach. A summary statement used by Paul indication the elder is to live his life in a way that is worthy of imitating because he imitates Christ.

Paul now gets to the purpose for writing this letter – for Titus to put the church in order. Verses 5-9 focus on church leadership. In today’s teaching we look at the role of the office of elder.

Titus 1:1a
In the introduction of this letter to Titus, the Apostle Paul identifies himself as a slave and and apostle, the authority, which Titus and the church at Crete were under. We can learn from these identifying characteristics how we today are to be Christ’s slaves and we too are under that authority of Scripture.
