Title: The Pastor As A Man of Prayer

Subtitle: The Pastor's Job Description

Speaker: Dr. Stephen Pollock

Broadcaster: Free Presbyterian Church of Malvern

Event: Sunday - AM

Date: 4/23/2017

Bible: Acts 6:4

Length: 50 min. (64kbps)

Overview: We look now at the particular duties of the teaching elder. The church must remember we have a duty of practical care for those in need. But practical concerns should never distract from the primary duty of the church -prayer and the ministry of the word-. The apostles are putting in place a paradigm for the church to follow. So we want to think about the pastor as a man of prayer. A pastor can serve a congregation but neglect prayer. Paul makes mention of his prayers -2 Tim 1-3-. His prayer was a habitual exercise of worship and petition.----Reasons why a pastor prays--1. He is a saved man--Think of Paul of which the Lord said- -Behold, he prayeth.---2. He is a man who is being sanctified--He has a concern for his own personal holiness. He is conscious of his own sin and need for God. The pastor is to live holy and not only lecture. He is to show in life and lip true holiness. A pastor must pray for the Spirit to produce such holiness in him. A pastor's holiness is deeply connected to the well being of his congregation.--3. He is in the service of the Lord--The work of God requires prayer -2 Thess 3-1-2-. He is asking for prayer so that the Word of God would run without hinderance. We are in a battle and must pray for the blessing of God. If he exhorts them to prayer, he must pray himself.--4. He has a love for the sinner--Phil 1-8-Rom 10-1--5. He has a love for the saints--3 John 3-2 - physical and spiritual well being----Example of prayer--Paul in Col 1-1-10 who prays for the saints and their sanctification, success, spirituality, strength, their thankfulness for salvation, and their understanding of the scriptures. For any one to grow in grace, it is answer to prayer.

Date: 4/9/2017

Bible: Titus 1:5-9

Length: 44 min. (64kbps)

Overview: A pastor is not over the elders. He is one among equals. He specializes in laboring in the word and doctrine -1 Timothy 5-17-18-. Here we explore the terms and tasks of a pastor.----1. The terms that are used of the pastor----1a. The term elder - Titus 1-5--It is not a word that speaks of age--Rather it speaks of spiritual maturity--it is an Old Testament term -Numbers 11-16-----1b. The term bishop - Titus 1-7--A synonym of the word elder--1 Timothy 3-1-2 - a bishop must be blameless--It is a God-given burden to be a bishop or elder--Philippians 1-1 - bishops and deacons----1c. The term pastor--Ephesians 4-11 - pastors and teachers--The noun is used of Christ as the Chief Shepherd -1 Peter 5-4---The verb is used of overseers who are -to feed- the flock -Act 20-28-----2. The tasks associated with these terms----2a. The pastor's task is to care--John 10-11-13 discusses shepherds that do not care--The shepherd's task is to make sure sheep are safe--This involves -Ezekiel 34---- provision -34-2---- protection -34-8---Acts 20-28-30 - protection from the wolves and error--The food is the teaching of the word of God -Hebrews 5-12---The task of the sheep is to eat--The pastor's task is to feed with the truth of Christ----2b. The bishop's task is to give oversight -Hebrews 13-17-----2c. The elder's task is to rule--1 Timothy 3-4-5--The term elder involves a sense of authority but never dictatorship--Ruling is not bullying or domineering--Ruling involves care--The elder is to give direction and leadership so that your soul is not ruined and you are not damned

Title: The Necessity of the New Birth

Speaker: Dr. Stephen Pollock

Broadcaster: Free Presbyterian Church of Malvern

Event: Sunday - PM

Date: 4/9/2017

Bible: John 3:7

Length: 40 min. (64kbps)

Overview: Scripture teaches that faith is essential. Without faith there is no salvation. The new birth is also essential because without the new birth, there is no faith. John 3-7 is not a must of command, but a must of necessity. It is necessary for you to be born again so you can believe the gospel and not perish.----Inferences of the Must----1. The must shows the helplessness of human inability--Verse 7 is expansion of verses 3 and 5 which state that unless you are born again, you cannot see or enter the kingdom of God. The word 'see' speaks of perceiving and understanding. Romans 3-11a states there is none that understandeth. The word 'enter' speaks of a choice. By nature man will not choose because the will is enslaved. Romans 3-11b states there is none that seeketh after God. Man does not seek God because he does not want God. We must be born again if we would understand and choose the kingdom of God which is God's reign in the hearts of men.----2. The must gives hope--If any man is going to be saved, it is necessary for him to be born again. Man can't do it himself but yet we see that people do come to Christ. Rebirths do happen. God does intervene. The must can't be met by the sinner but is met by God's grace. The rebirth gives us hope of divine sovereign intervention----3. The must should be understood in light of human responsibility--Human responsibility and divine sovereignty go together. God changes our nature so that those who will not call will call and those that will not come will come. Look at the man with the withered hand. How can you do what you are not able to do- When God gives a command, he gives the power to obey that command. All of God and your duty.

Title: Preaching the King's Message

Subtitle: The Pastor's Job Description

Speaker: Dr. Stephen Pollock

Broadcaster: Free Presbyterian Church of Malvern

Event: Sunday - AM

Date: 4/2/2017

Bible: Ephesians 3:1-12

Length: 48 min. (64kbps)

Overview: The Pastor's Job Description--The next series of messages will be on the pastor's job description. The pastor's job description is found within the Scriptures and in the example of Christ who is the Great Shepherd of the souls of His people. We need a biblical expectation of what a pastor should do. In this message, we want to look at the main responsibility of the pastor which is to preach the word. His first and main priority is to preach the unsearchable riches if Christ -3-8-----1. The conduct of the preacher--The conduct of the preacher is found in 1 Cor 1-17 where Paul says Christ sent me to preach the gospel. His conduct is to be that of the herald. A herald was to represent the king or government official -Dan 3-4-. The aspects of a herald to consider are--- the authority of the herald--- the solemnity of the herald--- the reliability of the herald--- the clarity of the herald----2. The content of the pastor's preaching--The herald's task is to present Christ. He is to present the riches of his glory and the riches of his generosity. Christ has riches and he is willing to part with some of them for your soul's benefit.----3. The concern that motivates the pastor's preaching--The concern is the souls of men. Acts 5-42 shows both the sinner and the saint need to hear the preaching of Christ. The saint needs to understand that Christ is everything you need every day. The sinner needs to understand that Christ is everything he needs for time and eternity.
