Marks of a Healthy Church Pt 9

Systematic Theology - Lesson 118 - The Doctrine of the Church: Marks of a Healthy Church - Part 9 - In Lesson 102 we covered the qualifications for elders in the church. Today we will review the role and duties of pastors as defined by Scripture. Another term for these leaders is "elder." Those who are called in the Bible elders, bishops, or overseers are those men who are called and qualified to serve as loving shepherds in His church. Christ is Lord of the church and He rules with authority through godly elders (1 Timothy 3:1-7; 5:17; 1 Thess. 5:12; Hebrews 13:7; Acts 20:17, 28; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-2). These pastor-teachers in the church shepherd the flock of God by Feeding, Leading, and Protecting the congregation.
