In this message, Ben explains how Paul highlights the importance of trustworthy, godly leadership within the church. Using Titus and the unnamed brothers as examples, Paul shows that leadership is a gift from God to strengthen the church—not a status symbol. Ben emphasises that biblical leadership is always shared, accountable, Spirit‑filled, and rooted in humble service.
