The Reverend delivered a compelling view on the importance of leadership within the church, drawing inspiration from the teachings in 1st Timothy. He emphasized the vital role of church leaders in praying fervently for the spread of the Gospel and for the protection of God’s people. Additionally, he highlighted the importance of recognizing and honoring those who serve the church, including through public readings of Scripture and by establishing a benevolence fund to care for widows and others in need.

The Reverend also stressed the necessity of thoroughly testing potential leaders before assigning them responsibilities, ensuring they are spiritually mature and prepared for their roles. He warned against the love of money, urging leaders to embrace contentment and to encourage others to do the same. Furthermore, he emphasized that church leaders should use their resources to further the Gospel and help those in need while teaching the congregation to honor God with their wealth and generosity.
