Pitfalls of Pastoral Ministry

Pastoring a local church is a unique and privileged calling—and it is accompanied by unique temptations. In this message, Alistair Begg shares nine pitfalls he has personally experienced in his time in pastoral ministry, from prayerlessness to laziness to jealousy. Pastors, he reminds us, must keep their eyes on Jesus Christ, as Hebrews 12:3 reminds us all, so that hearts may not grow weak or weary.

Alistair Begg is Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Bible teacher on Truth For Life, which is heard on the radio and online around the world.
