Transcribe →Faithful Leadership
2w ago00:45:22Tap to summarizeWe live in a world obsessed with influence. We follow the most confident, the most impressive, the most followed — but audience doesn't equal authority, and charisma doesn't equal character.In this sermon, Pastor Stan walks us through 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and unpacks what God actually looks for in the leaders of his church. Spoiler: it's not charisma, platform, or the ability to draw a crowd. It's character in the hidden places. It's the inner life. It's the fear of the Lord.Whether you're in church leadership, aspiring to it, or simply following Jesus in the everyday, what Paul lays out here isn't just a job description for elders and deacons. It's a portrait of what Christ-likeness looks like for every believer.📖 1 Timothy 3:1-13📍 Paradox Church — Fort Worth, TX
