How Christ
Governs His Church

Jesus is not only the Savior of His people—He is also the Head of His Church. In His wisdom and grace, Christ has not left His Church to navigate leadership and care on its own. He governs His people through servant-hearted elders and deacons who are called, qualified, and accountable to His Word.

This two-part sermon series explores the biblical foundation for Presbyterian church government. In How Jesus Governs His Church, we see how a plurality of elders provides spiritual care and protection for the flock. In The Officers of the Church, we look at the God-given roles of elders and deacons, not as power brokers, but as shepherds and servants modeled after Christ Himself.

These sermons are not just about church structure—they’re about how the gospel shapes leadership, accountability, and the shared life of the people of God. Whether you’re curious about what makes Presbyterian polity distinct or seeking to better appreciate the calling of church officers, this series will point you to Christ, the Chief Shepherd who cares deeply for His Church.
