Shepherds Beside Us

As the church prepares to add two more Shepherds, the current Shepherds and Don have a panel discussion of what it means for having Shepherds who are beside us.

Daryl reminds us of his lesson from last week and explains the format for today.

Don shows that there are two things in the I Timothy and Titus passages about Shepherds, experiences and character. As you study those passages, look for those two things.

• Experience 1 - The Husband of One Wife
• Experience 2 - The Father of Believing Children

Bob talks about the characteristic of a man being able to change. That does not necessarily mean just the ability to stand up in front of an audience and deliver a prepared set of material. Teaching is when people pick up what you do because you have modeled the behavior. (Hebrews 13:7)

Ron talks about "guarding against false teaching" and "letting the Spirit guide." Acts 15 and 20 have examples of what this looks like. Letting the Spirit guide is about being able to make judgments and discern what is best.

Lanar specifically talks about James 5:14-16. Beside physical healing the passage talks about spiritual healing.

Daryl provides conclusive thoughts to wrap up the different thoughts.
