Immanuel's Band: A Portrait of True Shepherds and Their Flock (Acts 20:17-38) by Come Let Us Reason published on 2020-01-22T02:42:46Z In New Testament times, the apostles appointed elders in every church. But in our day, without the benefit of apostles, it is usually left to the members of the church to nominate, vet, and ultimately vote on the men who will lead them. Today's text will help church members do so with an eye to God's values, rather than man's. Genre Religion & Spirituality
