The Greek word for overseer is "episkopos," which is used in the New Testament to describe those who have been given the responsibility to shepherd and manage the affairs of the church. Biblical References: 1. <a href="/acts/20-28.htm">Acts 20:28</a> · In his farewell address to the Ephesian elders, the Apostle Paul instructs them: "Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood." Here, Paul emphasizes the divine appointment of overseers and their duty to care for the church. 2. <a href="/philippians/1.htm">Philippians 1:1</a> · Paul addresses his letter "to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons." This greeting indicates the established roles of overseers within the church community, alongside deacons. 3. <a href="/1_timothy/3.htm">1 Timothy 3:1-7</a> · Paul provides specific qualifications for overseers: "This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task. An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap." These qualifications highlight the moral and spiritual integrity required for the role. 4. <a href="/titus/1-5.htm">Titus 1:5-9</a> · Paul instructs Titus to appoint elders in every town, providing similar qualifications: "An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it." This passage underscores the importance of doctrinal soundness and the ability to teach. Role and Responsibilities: The role of an overseer is primarily pastoral and administrative. Overseers are tasked with the spiritual oversight of the congregation, ensuring that the teachings and practices of the church align with apostolic doctrine. They are to be examples of Christian living, guiding the flock with wisdom and humility. The responsibilities include teaching, preaching, pastoral care, and church governance. Historical Context: In the early church, the role of overseer was crucial for maintaining doctrinal purity and unity among believers. As the church grew, the need for structured leadership became apparent, and overseers were appointed to provide guidance and oversight. This role has evolved over time, but the foundational principles outlined in the New Testament continue to inform the qualifications and duties of church leaders today. Theological Significance: The position of overseer is seen as a calling from God, with the Holy Spirit playing a central role in the appointment and empowerment of these leaders. The emphasis on character and ability reflects the high standards expected of those who shepherd God's people. Overseers are accountable to God for their stewardship of the church, underscoring the gravity and honor of this sacred office.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(n.)
