Keeping Watch

Selected Scriptures  (ID: 3084)

What is the goal of pastoral ministry? In the face of so many temptations to stray from the instruction given to church leaders in the New Testament, Alistair Begg reminds pastors of their role as stewards of God’s people. As pastors seek to feed God’s flock and fulfill their ministry of pastoral care, they should encourage, exhort, admonish, and counsel out of love both in public proclamation and individual care.
