Concerns that Deal with the Pastor (Part 1) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Timothy 5:17-20 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. How does a church properly care for its pastor and family? If the pastor is doing something wrong, how is the church to properly and carefully deal with the problem? Understand that such problems do exist today in churches. Some stories are horrific and terrifying about the behavior of the pastor. Yet, many churches are too afraid to deal with a pastor that is living sinfully because the people believe they will be judged by God. In this portion of 1 Timothy, we will examine over the next few messages these issues and how to scripturally deal with the problem of a wayward pastor and protecting a pastor that is falsely accused. This 27-minute message was preached on June 14, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
