To honour elders (or overseeers) is to hold them in high regard for their works' sake. They hold up God's Word, and must discern the errors Satan constantly bombards us with. Elders are susceptible to discipline, the Word being of such vital importance.

'And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.'

In what sense is Christ the Saviour of all, even the unsaved? Here are answers, and the debt that is owed him. Here also are the four ‘departments’ of a true preaching agenda, and what is meant by the ‘gift’ given to Timothy.

'And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.'

'And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.'

Over forty days following His resurrection, the Lord appeared ten times. Although He had repeatedly spoken of His resurrection, it was not expected. Here we see the appearances, and what each one gave to His followers then, and to us today.

'And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.'

The apostle begins by spotlighting reverence as the leading element of our testimony. Touching on the limitation and spiritual dangers of bodily exercise, we show how Christ in several ways is Saviour of all. Finally, Paul identifies the six main elements of holiness that 'preach' to the lost.

'And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground.'

Here are answers to questions from Christ's parable of the lost sheep. Why did God have to become man in order to save us? Why do people think they do not need to repent? What happens in repentance and what are the common mistakes?
