Mike Renzi explores New Testament leadership through the foundational example and teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ, emphasizing His ultimate standard of service, humility, and self-sacrifice. He outlines the theological and practical demands of Christian service, the inevitability of suffering in following Christ, and the specific scriptural roles, qualifications, and functions of elders and overseers within the local assembly, drawing upon selected passages from Acts, First Peter, Titus, and the Gospels (Acts 20:28; Titus 1:5; 1 Peter 5:2).
