In the Old Testament the priests and Levites held their offices based on their ancestry. In this Bible study Mr. Smith begins I Timothy 3 by showing us that the offices in God's church are filled based on the character shown by the people placed in each office. He covers the first three verses of the chapter showing us the qualities required to be an elder in God's church.
