Diligent Pastors

Pastors, we are to teach the truth and refute error. How confident and competent are you in these important tasks?

Is your church characterized by sound biblical teaching, a high view of God, love for one another, godly leadership, and gospel ministry?

Randy Cook underscores the importance of theological education, expository preaching, and missions-mindedness in the life of the church.

The three primary terms in the New Testament referring to church leaders are elder, overseer, and pastor. These three words describe the group of godly men who provide shepherding, leading, caring, feeding work for the congregation. A few additional words indicate the preaching work of church leaders as well as their authoritative influence in the congregation. The role of deacons is to come alongside the elders to assist them in caring for the local church.

Todd Bolen illustrates the importance of learning the land of the Bible as part of our personal Bible study as well as the pastoral ministry of the Word.

Tim Cantrell speaks about strengthening the church in South Africa.

Michael Luehrmann speaks about evangelization, discipleship, and church planting in northern England.
