Moses On Leadership, Pt.1

Let me start this leadership series on Moses by talking about something the Apostle Paul said:

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. (Eph 4:11-13 NLT)

This piece of Scripture lays out a simple groundwork for church leadership, health, and growth. God gives gifts (who are actually leaders) to the Church. These leaders (who are gifts from God) have an INTENSE RESPONSIBILITY & ROLE.

“Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ.”

To simplify: the Pastor’s role is to EQUIP GOD’S PEOPLE TO DO HIS WORK & BUILD UP THE CHURCH.

Currently, as the Lead Pastor of TheDC.tv my role is to EQUIP THE STAFF TO THE LEAD THE CHURCH.

Jesus gives leaders to the church, not to do all the ministry, but to equip others to do the ministry.

Pastors must be “equippers” if they are to best care for and lead the church God has entrusted to them.
