Biblical Exhortation on Eldership and Leadership Roles Within the Church

The scriptural passages from 1 Timothy, Titus, and Peter emphasize the role of elders as witnesses of Christ's suffering and glory, exhorting them to willingly shepherd the flock, without seeking gain. Elders are called to oversee God's heritage with humility and as examples, not as lords. The church is never without leadership, with Jesus as the head, and believers are encouraged to cast their cares on Him. Grace is provided for believers through suffering, leading to perfection in Him.
