Church leaders are to

  • Silence false teachers by teaching the truth, verses 10-11
  • Encourage sound teaching and godly living, verses 12-14
  • Understand how we are to become more like Jesus, verses 15-16

  • Does it have authority over us?
  • Are you ready to submit to it in humble faith?
