Can a high school student give a sermon? — Giving a message vs. holding the office of elder

Subscriber Hangout and Q&A - LIVE! 00:57:45 – 00:59:19

A viewer asks whether biblical leadership qualifications prevent a high school student from giving a message at a school Bible study.

Mike distinguishes between giving a message (appropriate for anyone) and being appointed to the office of elder or pastor (requires maturity, not being a novice — 1 Timothy 3). He notes the biblical default of calling leaders 'elders' reflects the wisdom that comes with age. Something shifts in men around age 25. Teenagers should share humbly, know their place, and yield to the leadership God has placed over them.
