Message: “Shepherd the Flock Well (Pastor Ordination)” from Shawn Merithew

When a congregation sets apart a man to pastoral ministry, it is an occasion of great significance. It is the church agreeing to submit to the leadership of that man as he ministers in accordance with the Word, and it is the church agreeing to support the man and keep him accountable for his purity and devotion to Christ. Likewise, it is the man committing before God to take responsibility for the flock, to lead and protect them in the truth, to counsel and admonish them through trials, knowing that when he stands before the judgement seat of the Almighty, he will have to give an account for those entrusted to his care. This sermon from 1 Pet 5 is the ordination sermon for Scott Estes.
