“Until church members see humility, unity, and equality exercised among the elders, they likely won’t practice these redemptive qualities with each another. Instead, they’ll parody Christianity in worship and service instead of mirroring the life of Christ (Gal. 4:19).” - TGC

“If the NT required multiple pastors for every church, this passage would have said so – but it does not.”
