Sermon Excerpt

"1 Timothy 3:6 says, 'The overseer must not be a recent convert.' That doesn't mean he's had time to prove how on-fire he is all the time, it means he's had a chance to fall a few times, to land with his face down in the puddle a few times. 'Must not be a recent convert.' Why? Because a recent convert may 'become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil.' Brothers, you may be stumbling toward your ordination day, you may wish you were at a better and a different place in your life here on your ordination day, you may wish that today was a day of victory and not a day where you feel your failure. Your failure may be the very thing that prepares you for the humility you will need, you will need to press on in this ministry, because leadership means that it's not just you and Satan pointing out your failures anymore...it means there's a whole body who notices."
