In this presentation, Derek Brown examines what it looks like for us as Godly men to honor both our spiritual authorities (pastors) and our economic authorities (employers) with respect to the Gospel.

2. The Vision of Hillside Men
To Look Like Jesus and To Lead
Other Men to Look Like Jesus

3. RECAP

4. Disciples Make Disciples

5. 1 TIMOTHY 5:17-6:2

6. The Church as a
People of Honor

7. Honor widows…
1 TIMOTHY 5:3
Honor elders…
1 TIMOTHY 5:17
Honor masters…
1 TIMOTHY 6:1

8. Hillside is a church within a
culture that worships work.

9. Part of what will define us is
how we treat those who lead.

10. Elders are those who labor.

11. One who works should
benefit from his/her work.

12. Double honor?

13. Financial provision.
Proper respect.

14. One of the worst things you
can do to a leader is
undermine his or her authority.

15. This church is not about you.

16. As long as Hillside is about
our comfort, we will gain
very little for the Kingdom of
God until we die off.

17. Part of what it means to
give elders double honor
is to buy into the vision that
Christ has given them.

18. And protecting them
against false accusations.

19. But those who are found to
be guilty of persistent sin
are to be rebuked
and judged harshly.

20. Do not be hasty in the
laying on of hands.

21. Some sins happen later.

22. The Gospel in the Workplace

23. Ephesians 6:5-9

24. We are employees of God.

25. We are slaves of God.

26. Our Leader came and
sacrificed for us.

27. Godly men honor those
who lead them.
