A Noble Task
Why does the character of a pastor matter so much? Because the leadership of the church affects the witness of the church. In 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and 5:17-25, Pastor Jared Richard walks through what Scripture says about the calling and qualifications of pastors, and the responsibility we share as a church to discern, honor, and hold our leaders accountable. Giftedness matters, but character matters more. And while pastors are called to lead faithfully, our hope has never rested in perfect leaders. It rests in Jesus Christ, the Chief Shepherd, whose grace sustains His church.
