FTSOYJ: A Plea for Pastoral Submission (Pt 1); God’s System of Care, Growth & Protection

In this message, we uncover the divine wisdom behind pastoral care and its vital role in our Christian lives. We learn that the primary reason God gives us pastors is for the sake of our joy. Jesus is the Chief Shepherd, and in His love, He appoints pastors after His own heart to feed, guide, and protect His flock. Scripture reveals that we are sheep—vulnerable, dependent, and in need of defense—and God’s answer to that need is shepherds who nourish us with His Word.We also see a powerful truth: when God wants something done, He uses men. And when He wants His people cared for, He gives them pastors. Pastoring isn’t a human invention—it’s God’s system for spiritual growth, protection, and joy. This message calls us to fully submit to proper pastoring, so we can live out the truth of Scripture and experience the fullness of life in Christ. Listen and be blessed. Shalom.
