Church Authority

This mission brief continues the conversation from last week’s episode: No Head Higher.

The point is simple: don’t put any human on a pedestal — not your lead pastor, not your counselor, not your tribe leader, not me. Your authority is God, and Scripture is the standard.

But what about “church authority”? That’s where the conversation gets deeper. In the New Testament, leadership is consistently described as plural — elders, leaders, overseers — not a single man running everything. We unpack key passages like:

• Hebrews 13:17 (leaders — plural)

• 1 Timothy 5:17 (elders — plural)

• 1 Peter 5:5 (elders — plural)

• 1 Timothy 2:5 (one mediator — Jesus Christ)

If your church is built on the biblical blueprint, you should see elder leadership, accountability, and authority rooted in Scripture — not personality, celebrity, or “one guy’s voice.”
