Duties of a Pastor, Part 4
An important duty for pastors and elders is prayer. In this post we consider why that is so.
This article, titled Feed the Flock, explores the essential principles of pastoral ministry, drawing on Charles Spurgeon’s wisdom to guide pastors in their sermon preparation and preaching. It emphasizes the importance of pastors personally engaging with Scripture to "taste" the Word before serving it to their congregations. The article discusses four key principles: 1) the preacher must first internalize God’s Word, 2) the preacher should unite the flock with rich, biblical teaching, 3) sermons should be delivered with love, and 4) preaching should be direct and relevant to the needs of the people. It ultimately calls pastors to feed their congregation with both depth and care, ensuring that the Word of God nourishes and strengthens the church.
