Building on the Basics, Week 24: Hope - Live In It (Part 12)

Some people look at the pastor as an employee that works for the church, and follows the will of the people. Some people look at the pastor as a CEO type, running the operation from on top. But what does God say is the role of the pastor? In our last message in the series "Building on the Basics," the Apostle Peter said in 1 Peter 4:17 that it was "time for judgment to begin with the household of God.” It is in that context that chapter 5 opens with a look at the role and responsibility of the pastor, or pastors of a local church. As you’ll hear Pastor Clay say today...if a church is going to be biblical and if it is going to be what God intends it to be, then the judgment of the household of God must begin by looking first at the pastor.
