Top Highlights
“The term pastor basically means ‘shepherd or herdsman’ and is derived from the Latin verb pascere (‘to feed’). The pastor’s responsibility is both to tend and to feed the flock.” (Page 17)
“‘Preach the Word [feed]; … correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction [tend]’ (2 Timothy 4:2). Since the Lord Jesus declared that ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’ (Matthew 4:4), when you preach the Word of God, the Bible, you feed people spiritually.” (Page 17)
“The purpose of preaching is to present Christ by the power of His Spirit so that people may be convicted of sin, converted to God, and challenged to attain spiritual maturity.” (Page 29)
“It is not enough to simply preach about Christ; we must preach Christ.” (Page 29)
“ It is the public proclamation of the good news of salvation to humankind by humans.” (Page 15)
