Our Sermons
A Bishop's Household (1 Timothy 3:4-5)
Don Johnson, June 27, 2010
Part of the 1 Timothy series, preached at a Sun PM service
We focus on just one qualification for a bishop in this message, the qualification that his household must be in order. The Bible ties the pastor's management of the church with his management of his household. As such, God puts the children of the pastor in the "fishbowl" and makes their response to their father's leadership a test of his church management ability.

1 Timothy 3:4-5
4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? (ESV)
