It emphasizes the importance of not seeking many positions of authority within the church to avoid being disqualified from receiving rewards. The speaker delves into the context of James, the half-brother of Jesus, to provide insights on the significance of humility and restraint in leadership roles within the church. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can see the New Testament. It deals with these things, lest I be a castaway, disqualified from receiving rewards. James says in James 3 verse 1, My brethren, be not many masters. The word masters there means teachers or instructors in the church. Don't be many. Can you imagine a man of God, the half brother of Jesus Christ? Mary wasn't a perpetual virgin. She had several other children by Joseph, and this is one of them. James actually says don't be many masters. Speaking of the church, don't many of you want to be teachers? Who ever heard of such a theology or such a sermon? ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/ADmN7bqWKxY.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/keith-malcomson/dont-many-be-teachers-in-the-church/ ========================================================================
