Respecting God's Seniors

For the Sermon today I would like to discuss the privilege of being a senior in God’s Church. Recently I have been working on a presentation given annually at the General Conference of Elders. It is a tribute to the ministers and wives who have “died in the faith” (Hebrews 11:13). This is always a somber and emotional experience for me. In a handful of photos and comments, you realize how short this physical lifetime is. Today let's explore the importance of being a senior or elder in God's Church and what it means.
