The Relationship Between You and Your Pastor According to God's Design The Bible says God gave the gift of the pastor to the Church - and this gift is indeed needed for the Body of Christ! Since this ministry gift is so important, it is vital that you understand what a pastor is. Is it possible that a pastor is much more than you know or that your view of the pastoral ministry is tainted by a traditional background? In this five-part series, Rick Renner examines Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments to reveal the heart of God for giving us pastors. You'll find out why you need a pastor, how to find your pastor if you don't have one, and how you and your pastor should relate according to the teaching of the Word. Rick will show you: How to recognize a true pastoral gift. How to "know the voice" of your pastor. How to work successfully with a pastor in the local church and to correctly honor him or her. And so much more!
