Pastor, Moulton Baptist Church
I have had the wonderful blessing of serving the Lord and His people in three different churches in three different states.
One truth I have discovered in leading churches is that they are all different.
“For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body.” (1 Cor. 12:12).
Individual believers
We tend to think of this verse solely on the basis of individual believers. This verse also has a collective aspect as we think about all the local churches being a part of the larger collective body of Christ that includes all believers.
This is why as leaders in a church we must stay in close relationship with Jesus.
He is the Head of our church just like He is the Head of all Christian churches and He alone must lead us as a church.
Understand that we, as pastors, have a unique path to follow and a ministry to perform in fulfilling the calling that Christ has for our church.
Resist temptation
Resist the temptation to compare your church to others or try to solve your church’s problems with other church’s solutions.
