The Calhoun Church of Christ Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Ordaining a new elder, or shepherd, is a serious matter. That's because elders (also called pastors and overseers - or bishops - in Scripture) oversee the spiritual life of the souls under their care.
In Acts 15:1-29, the apostles included elders of the Jerusalem church in making major decisions about doctrine.
And the Apostle Paul told the Ephesian church's elders, "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood." (Acts 20:28 NIV)
