  • Hebrews 13:17. Elders rule by their leading and example. They are not to lord their position over the congregation. If the elders try to lead in a way that goes against God’s word, the members of the congregation are responsible for recognizing this and not going along with it. Otherwise, the members are to submit to the leadership of the elders.
