FSB Pastoral Theology

Thank you for this opportunity… Thank you for giving ear.

Shameless plug for an opportunity to serve the Lord through an internship...

We offer a one year internship opportunity

We offer real life engagement in church planting

Interactions with multiple pastoral groups and gatherings

Free lodging and living cost

An active church with a healthy group of elders and deacons

A church that desires to pur itself into the next generation leaders…

“Our youth are the church of today, and its leaders tomorrow”

Therefore we will invest in them!

An internship is that final transition step of being tomorrows leaders!

The Lesson

YOUNG PASTORS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SHEPHERD

“The Role of the Pastor” from your Biblical perspective and share some of the issues you face as a pastor.

1 Timothy

2 Timothy

Titus… “this is good doctrine!” RELATIONS

Peter feed my sheep (John 21:15-17)

“Tend My lambs.” “Shepherd My sheep.” “Tend My sheep.”

TEND: to feed, or take care of

SHEPHERD: look after, responsibility, oversight and care (watching / awareness)

Psalm 23…

“We are His…”

He owns us

He is the EXAMPLE

He is the Chief shepherd… we are Under-shepherds

"Shall not want”

Keeps moving to healthy pasture… not stagnant

No cheat-grass… the real thing

“Restores soul”

Care not beating them, driving them

“going through valleys”

late nights

Hospital visits

Tough calls

Lead them to One who takes fear away

DO NOT LEAD WITH FEAR

Have an eternal perspective

Hold to a LITERAL, GRAMMATICAL approach to your studies and teaching of God’s Word

People are getting confused (books, podcast, radio shows, songs, counselors)

Fads are tempting but fade away quickly… however do not fear trying new things either!

Pray… Pray Intentionally!
