Weekly Bible Study
God calls us as pastors and church leaders to be a
people who shepherd. Being a Shepherd also means being God's commissioned
leader; our Guide is Jesus the Holy One who gently leads us and guides His
leaders to care for His flock, the Church. Consider that Jesus comes to us as
the Good Shepherd, also a name for Jesus, to rescue His lost sheep. We have all
gone astray and have given in to sin; He brings us back to His fold...
Thus, to be a faithful leader,
we garner the ability to assume a long-term personal responsibility for the
spiritual welfare of a group of Believers with love, care, discipleship, and
counseling, moving them to a deeper spiritual connection and maturity with
Christ. We come to our people with the empowered Fruit of the Spirit as
guardians and protectors-like 'sentinels.' This was someone who protected
an estate or farm and served its owners. Our 'Overseer' is Christ (John
10:1-18)! Anyone in church leadership (like Elders) now fill this role, as
Christ's workmen, as both shepherds and overseers; we are to look out for the
welfare of the flock-the church-by training, caring for, and administering His
love and precepts (John 10:1-18; Acts 14:23; 20:17, 28;Eph. 4:11-14; 1 Tim.
3:1-7; 5:15; Titus 1:5-16; 1 Pet. 5:1-4).

Prayer Tip of the Week Ideas to
consider: (Romans 12:18 ; 14:18 -19; Ephesians 4:3; Hebrews
12:14 )
You must have a well thought out, empowered vision and mission statement with a
clearly defined purpose, and strategies on what God has called you to do and be.
It must be real and authentic, and you must be willing to act on it. It is one
thing to write it out, but another thing to act it out (see the article on
Preparing the Pastor and Church Leadership to Grow)!! (
Hebrews 11:1-2) There is no question - we are serving our Lord Jesus Christ because of your prayers, support and partnership, Thank-You! We need your help!
We have a $150K shortfall, and we need your partnership to make
our obligations and keep this ministry going!
