In this chapter Paul is talking about the importance of character in church leadership. Qualified leadership, marked primarily by character, is essential to a healthy, fully functioning church. Quality leadership is at the foundation of a healthy church. When leadership lacks character the church suffers.
Serving as a church leader is not easy. In fact, it is difficult. One benefit of serving in this way is "great boldness in the faith". That boldness come through faithfully serving the truth. The more we serve, the more confident we are in "Who" we are serving and the truth of the gospel.
We should all find a place to serve in our local church. It matters. For the church and for us.
