This sermon focuses on 1 Timothy 5:17-18, where the Apostle Paul instructs us on the honour due to elders who lead well within the church. We delve into the meaning of 'elders' and their vital role as overseers of the local assembly, drawing connections to Acts 20 and the pastoral responsibilities they hold. The sermon highlights the significance of honouring those who labour in word and doctrine, emphasising that our support should be abundant, as indicated by the scripture's call for double honour. We explore the biblical basis for this practice, reflecting on how honouring our pastors is not just a matter of respect, but a commitment to support their ministry through tangible means. Join us as we uncover the importance of honour in our faith community and how it shapes our relationship with God and each other.
