The Ministry of a Gospel-Empowered Christian #11 - Keep a Close Watch on Your Pastor

Church leaders carry serious responsibility, but they remain frail people who need both support and accountability. Those who work hard at teaching deserve respect and fair pay, while accusations against them require solid evidence rather than gossip. No leader stands above the church’s discipline. Persistent sin must be publicly corrected without favouritism, and potential elders should be watched over time because hidden character eventually becomes clear. Churches should pray for their leaders, choose them carefully, and trust Jesus as the Saviour every pastor also needs. Bible Reference: 1 Timothy 5:17–25 Preacher: KJ Tromp
