Leadership

Pastor Petty
Pastorial care-taking care of the flock.
1 Tim. 3:1-10 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1Ti 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1Ti 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
1Ti 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1Ti 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
Jesus came to liberate women and stop the cultural times of holding down women. He has no issue with gender but with disobedience.
Nurse is like an elder who works with a Pastor that has a flock. You can't want to be a minister without going through the headaches. Like a woman that has to go through labor. We are all hard headed and have to be ready to go through working with hard heads. We are all sinners. Vs. 6 traits of a mature minister. Time and training. Also experience. No one is exempt. There is no short cuts. They all ended up ship wrecked. The only way to redeem man kind was through the cross. One way. Not all elders are preachers. Some are designed to be gate keepers. One shepherd and the rest under shepherds. Your gift becomes activated. You have to connect with someone who can help you.
The only person who starts out on top is a grave digger. Roaches fighting for attention.
Staff is for the sheep to pull them back in. The rod is used for wolves to smack them.
Whoever God calls He can keep you from falling.
Leaders to lead yourself first:
Spiritually Healthy Leader
Tither.
Gifted leaders and operate out of those gifts.
Teachable people (some of philosophical training but not theological)
Caring-Godly care for the flock. More than your gifting and calling. Some people are going to crap all over the place,because they are babies in Christ. Some are babies and some are bastards (they are not use to any love).
Sharing leader.
Our humility being messed up messes up our anointing. If we sin we had already sinned on the inside before it came on the outside.
