Translations:DEV 08FN Church Leadership (Character)/45/en

'Lesson Summary: Leaders are responsible to shepherd believers and be an example. A leader should grow to become above reproach (bringing no shame on the church or on Jesus’ name) in his character after he believes in Christ. A leader must be willing to leave his old life behind and put on his new life in Christ: they should have a family that is honoring to the Lord (Titus 1:6), live a blameless life (Titus 1:7-8), and hold to the words of truth in scripture (Titus 1:9-11). Every leader should continually develop spiritually in order that his character is like that described in Titus 1:5-11. Likewise, every leader of a church should strive to become spiritually mature as described in 1 Tim 3.'
