Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 Aspire It is a strong word referring to what drives or motivates a person.

Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 Aspire Modern Concept Ambition… A form of self-seeking, motivated by selfish desires.

Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 Aspire Biblical Concept Ambition… Seeking only the glory of God and the well-being of others. It does not seek position, praise, prestige, etc.

Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 What does it mean to aspire to be an OVERSEER? = Overseer Elder Why does Paul use the word “overseer”? He is stressing function, not position.

Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 What does it mean to aspire to be an OVERSEER? God is not looking for men to serve as elders who are aspiring for a position of honor or prestige. God is looking for men who will work.

Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 What does Biblical aspiration look like? The listed qualifications serve as the foundation for this determination (1 Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9) They carry both spiritual & practical elements that facilitate making a wise, spiritual assessment.

Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 What does Biblical aspiration look like? One critical quality: How does one react when he is not selected?

Aspiring To Be An Overseer 1 Timothy 3:1 “The true spiritual leader is concerned infinitely more with the service he can render to God and his fellowmen than with the benefits and pleasure he extracts from life. He aims to put more into his life than he takes out of it.” —Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Leadership “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task.”
