An Overseeing Shepherd

Do we understand God's design for His church? What the role of pastors, deacons and laity is? The pastor is a God-called man to shepherd the flock of God. His primary call is the Word of God.
He is to provide truth and protect the flock through that truth. One of provision and protection.
The goal is to feed the flock of God to where they don't have to be dependent on the pastor...they can be dependent upon God. Finally, he will have to give account for everything he said and did.
