Responsibilities of Elders

Apostle s Priority Teach & Shepherd Acts 6:1-2, 4 Now at this time while the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food. So the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables... (v.2) But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. (v. 4) The Priority

Peter Called Himself Your Fellow Elder Shepherd the flock of God... - serve as overseers - serve willingly - not for gain - not as lords - but as examples... The Priority 1 Peter 5:2
