In Titus 1:5-9, Paul simple explains what God expects of those who will lead his people here on earth. Pastors must be an example in character not just words. It is imperative that he is a man with godly commitments and is faithful to the church, his wife, and children. A pastor must also be a man of good conduct and understand the need of a good reputation. For this is necessary in building a balance life that will allow one to walk worthy according to God’s will. Lastly, a pastor must be a man of Godly character and convictions. He must be devoted to the truth, diligent to teaching and preaching the gospel with passion and take no part in conflict. For the glory of God and the good of his people, his life must match his belief. Moreover, what he believes will connect with how he lives. Then he will be a leader worth trusting. Then he will be a leader worth following. It is my desire to please God and I am committed to live by the fundamentals qualities of a pastor as outlined in Titus 1:5-9.

As the governing boards, both the pastor and deacons must be on one accord with the pastor leading and all other existing ministries and auxiliaries following. Prayer is a vital way that a deacon can support his pastor and always creating a spirit of unity in the church. This is vital because it is not the pastors job to do everything. The pastors job is to set an order that pleases God. By doing this with the aid of the holy spirit and living according to Titus 1:5-9, 1 Peter 5:1-4, and 2 Peter 1:3-11 he will promote spiritual growth throughout the congregation and

When people accept this, that’s when they accept human authority to the point where they are hopelessly dependent, as children are with their parents. The pastor will point out weaknesses and then shout out ways to make it a strength. Once everyone starts to fall victim to the pastor word, they will be easily influenced by false doctrines. People will come to church depending on the “father” since he has the answers to all the problems. The members of the church are eventually allowing themselves to be deprived and victim to anything.

Many people have given their lives to further the growth of the Church throughout the world and indeed many have admitted that even if God Himself were to visit them and suggest Joseph Smith was not really His messenger, they would not believe him, but would rather believe in Joseph Smith. This type of fanatical belief is indicative of how this belief has grown and perhaps that it may well be considered in the realm of “cultism” as well as simple religion? This type of fanatical belief is not limited to the Mormon Church. Indeed you find it in the Catholic Church and many of the southern Baptist churches and other protestant faiths throughout the world and certainly in the Moslem religion.

We want to be able to influence people to do God's will, much of which requires a certain level of expertise in order to be effective (witnessing, teaching, discipling, etc.). This means that in the first place, the leader is concerned with the learning process, and how to bring about rapid and permanent learning. A child must learn to walk, talk, and feed herself. Christians must learn to pray, study, love others, admit sin etc. Vision has always been considered an important component in leadership, both in Christian and secular circles.

It has amazed me at times in my ministry that the most significant things are often the simple gestures of asking “how are you?” “What’s going on with you?” “What’s wrong?” and then genuinely offering myself to listen to the response. This is a day to day act of giving ourselves for others.

As a kid I remember there used to be this unintentionally funny commercial that to do this day perplexes me. The commercial began with a montage of a happy family, baseball, cowboys on the range, military men and women, construction workers and various other images of "America". Everyone had a huge grin, and life couldn 't get any better than what you saw in this commercial. The funny thing about this clichéd filled 90 's commercial was that, for all its imagery, it was supposed to be for a once popular chain of buffet restaurants called Sizzler. Even the theme song was about how because "Sizzler is the choice of America", Sizzler is the place that "brings the choices".

(Matthew 20:26–28). It is sad commentary in the world today that we have many leaders but very few servants. Many people want to “exercise authority,” but only a few want to serve. We should have an attitude to be like Christ’s in that we recognize others better than ourselves and do nothing out of vanity or selfishness. Rather, we must look out for the interests of another, and this means every leader is a

The sermon begins with an introduction to the story of Peter Healing a Lame Beggar and emphasizes on Acts 3:1-8. Bishop Jakes discusses that the man in the story was only expecting to receive something, no matter what it was, as long as it was something. He then goes into how people are afraid of disappointment, how to have the courage to raise your expectations, and how to break your patterns. He describes how the environment you are in can affect your success and how it’s beneficial to surround yourself with others who are better and who have different things than you do. To be able to want better and receive better, you have to surround yourself with better.

3:16-17). Baxter correctly highlighted the primary duty of minister in correcting those disobedience or rebellious flock – “To bring your people to submit to this course of private catechizing or instruction; for, if they will not come to you, or allow you to come to them, what good can they receive?” However, when we look at today’s congregation, especially old believers, their mindset had changed – though at the beginning of salvation, they humbly followed all the minister’s instructions diligently for their soul’s healing, but after sometimes, they hardened their heart to any kind of pastoral treatment as though they are superior than their shepherd. They will not come to us and will not allow us to come to

This includes being a leader out in the world and in his home. “The Bible instructs men to lead their families and often refers to leadership as shepherding. God designed the church, in part, to equip men to do the work of the ministry, and ministry begins at home.” (Navey, 2014) Being a servant leader is a vital part of biblical manhood. Jesus is clear on how man should be a servant leader in Luke 22:25-26, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.
