GOSPEL DRIVEN MINISTRY
Description
From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called and equipped individuals who would serve his community of followers. These shepherds are called to preach, pray, and care for the needs of Gods people. But what does it mean to be a pastor? And what is the nature of this ministry, according to the Bible? In Gospel Driven Ministry, Jared Wilson begins by looking at the qualifications for the pastorate, addressing the notion of a call to ministry and how an individual and a church community can best identify the marks of maturity and affirm a call.
In each chapter, Wilson looks at one of the core practices of pastoral ministry, including:
theological insights on baptism and the Lords Supper, guidance for wedding and funeral sermons, outlines for leading elder and deacon meetings, tips for interviewing new pastors, questions to ask at ordination, and advice on knowing when and how to leave a pastor role. This is a comprehensive, practical guide to pastoral ministry that prepares new pastors and equips those currently serving for long term, healthy ministry.
