How to Build a Pastor

In this sermon from Titus 1:7–9, Pastor Brian Morris continues his series on pastoral qualifications. Paul identifies what an elder must not be, what he must be, and what he must do in order to faithfully serve God’s people. These qualities are not meant to glorify the pastor, but to protect the church and point believers to Christ, the true Shepherd. This passage challenges us to pray for our leaders, to encourage godly character, and to fix our eyes on Jesus who perfectly embodies every qualification.
