Church leadership is a shared responsibility, not a solo venture. This book equips pastors and elders to lead the church together as a team, focusing not so much on what they are to be but on what they as a body are to do.

Effective leadership is important. Nowhere is this more true than in the church. In this short guide, Jeramie Rinne offers listeners a concise overview of the Bible's teaching on spiritual leadership, helping church leaders effectively shepherd their congregations. Giving practical guidance to new elders and helping church members better understand and support their spiritual leaders, this conversational book emphasizes purposeful ministry rather than project management.

In Elders Reformed, Pastor Tim Bayly and Pastor Jürgen von Hagen bring decades of diverse pastoral experience to helping elders of Christ’s Church understand what it means to shepherd the flock of God. With Scripture as their foundation, they teach how elders should be chosen and appointed, what elders should be like, and the difficult work elders must do. They then combine hundreds of years of church history with their own experiences of ministering to God’s sheep—rich and poor, educated and uneducated, black and white, local and international.

In my book, I show how mature followers of Christ who are winning at life are similar to the big brother of the prodigal son (Elder Son of Luke 15). One of the challenges I address is pride. Pride happens automatically in the absence of humility. Pride is the primary preventer of receiving wisdom from the Lord. Another challenge to elder sons and daughters I address is handling the limelight. Many mature Christians can lose their Christian character when exposed to the limelight. One of the most important topics I address is staying motivated after achieving your dream.

Do you have a book on your heart? Don’t know where to start? Don’t know how to finish? I’ll show you how! I’ve written and self-published over 35 books (this is 36!) and helped dozens of others do the same. I’d love to help you!

Book about Church Government used by the Vine International

The twenty-six biblical qualifications for church elders/bishops found in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 are a supernatural revelation given to the apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit. It is such a revealing study into Gods holiness and standards. The Lord really loves His church, and He requires that only well-qualified believers be appointed and placed in leadership positions.
