Some rebel against the authority of an eldership, but such an attitude is injurious to the Lord’s Church.

3. Nature of Elders’ Authority | Authority of Elders
Multiple verses in Scripture give authority to the elders of the Lord’s Church, under the Lord’s arrangement, which deserves our respect. Elders have delegated authority from God to perform what He has given them to do, and they operate with expediency in those obligations. In this last lesson, Roy Deaver shows how essential induction and deduction are in our Bible study, and how we as the Church are to rightly handle the Word of Truth. The Church is the most effective tool in evangelizing the world and, for His Church, God appointed elders.
