About this sermon

Pastors have no authority in and of themselves. Instead, their authority is derived from God, it’s rooted in his Word, and it should be shared among a plurality of elders. — Juan Sanchez FREE DOWNLOAD: In the free ebook, A Display of God's Glory, author Mark Dever unfolds the biblical blueprint to find a leadership structure that blesses churches with peace, but doesn't buckle under the pressures of corporate life.
