Titus chapter 1 verse 5 says for this cause left I thee in Crete that thou
shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every
city as I had appointed thee. So look at this real quick it says set in order the
things that are wanting. So what is it what is a man of God supposed to do when
he starts a church? Well he's supposed to set things in order. Okay so we have an
order here at this church everybody's sitting and closing in their right
minds in here that's a good thing but we have a way we do the services we sing
two songs we do the announcements we sing another song we do the offering you
know we just have a certain way that we do things and God wants there to be
order inside his churches. It's not supposed to be some free-for-all where
everybody just jumps up and says hey it's my turn to preach now and then just
pushes me out of the way. No there's an order of how things are supposed to be
and the man of God that starts a church is supposed to set those things in order
and it says the things that are wanting. Well what are the things that they're
wanting in Canada? Well they don't have a pastor they don't have it's not even
really a church it's just a group of believers there and so what we're gonna
try to get some some order in there and to try to fix maybe that some of the
things that are wanting in there and we want to ordain an elder there at some
point okay and so until we ordain an elder and we cut the umbilical cord
that church will be under the authority of our church okay and that is biblical
look so were there people do you think they do you think that Titus just went
to someplace and said you're the elder you're the elder no someone has to be
trained to be a pastor someone has to be trained to be an elder someone has to be
trained to be deacons they don't just you don't just pick you know eeny meeny
miny moe you know catch a tiger by its toe and then all of a sudden you pick you
are the best one all right brother Shawn you're the new pastor that's not how it
works Jesus trained his disciples his
apostles for three years didn't he okay and then he died on the cross he was
buried he rose again from the dead then he told them go out and preach the
gospel to every creature start churches in every city this is the model that
Jesus wants us to do ordain men send them out ordain men start churches okay
that's how the kingdom of God works that's how God made it to be
