1st Timothy 5:17-18
17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
Quickword: Worthy of Double Honor
Today, the leadership and members of the Antioch Baptist Church, SATX continue to celebrate the Pastoral Ministry of our Pastor and First Lady. We honor Dr. Kemp and First Lady Kemp for 14 years of Pastoral leadership but also for 30 plus years of service to the Antioch Church and the larger Faith community. Paul reminds us in 1st Timothy that the Elders who rule well be counted of double honor, especially those who labor in word and doctrine.
- Elders who rule well are worth double honor
- Pastoring and leading is not for the faint of heart
- Scripture reminds us that the laborer is worthy of his/her wages.
Traditionallly there are times we set aside to honor those who labor in preaching and teaching the word of God. I want to encourage you if you are blessed to have a good Pastor, Bishop, Elder, Superintendent,etc who labors on your behalf m; bless them as God has blessed you. In doing so, I believe we honor God and acknowledge the gift to humanity found in Jesus Christ that is available to all of us. The gift of spiritual leadeship is a blessing to us as they bring the the Good News of Jesus Christ who is worthy to be praised...
