Understanding Church Officers

The discussion about church officers begins by highlighting the distinction between extraordinary officers, such as apostles, and the ordinary officers like elders and deacons established in the Church. The focus is on how Christ has governed His church through these officers, emphasizing the role of ordinary officers in maintaining the governance and spiritual oversight of the congregation. This idea is rooted in the understanding that while extraordinary offices served a unique purpose during the New Testament period, their roles ceased with the completion of the apostolic era. The podcast explores how this transition underlines the importance of recognizing the continuity of church governance throughout different ages.
