Sermon Notes:

• Moses Needed Additional Leaders and God Empowered Israel’s Elders for this Work
  • Moses and Israel suffered when he was the only leader
  • God shared His Spirit with the elders of Israel
  • The pattern of elders continued, though not always successfully, until the New Covenant
• The Pattern Continued In the New Testament As Elders Were Appointed In Newly Formed Churches
• This Church Is Continuing to Change to Better Align with God’s Pattern for His People
