In this episode we discuss...
- what to do when members of our congregation begin to 'bite' us!
- Where do we start?
- With Scripture!
- Acts 20:28
- Acts 14:19-23
- Titus 1:5
- 1 Peter 5:1-14
- Hebrews 13:17
- Titus 1:9
- Colossians 3:16
- What practical principles can we put in place?
- Have a heart devoted to and SATISFIED in Christ.
- Have a heart devoted to the spiritual health and maturity of the body of Christ.
- Have a heart of humility and patience.
- Lead well, even when it’s hard.
- Don’t lead alone.
- Practical questions to ask.
- What can I own here?
- What can I learn here?
- What needs correction?
- Is there an underlying issue that needs addressed?
- Often sheep who bite are dealing with some kind of pain or difficulty. How can you love and help?
- Sometimes biting sheep are malnourished. How can you help? How can you avoid this?
The listener question we answer this week:
- Denny from PA asks, “Is it okay for a pastor to retire? Or should he work until he dies?”
