Remember: We are Called to Shepherd the Flock Pastor Darien Bennett

“…shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but providing examples to the flock.” 1 Pet. 5:2-3.

The Four Functions of the Shepherd-Coach: 1. Lead them – By being an overseer-one who guides and models God’s Word, God’s Will, and God’s Glory. (Acts 20:28; Col. 3:12-17)

The first thing that people need from us is a love that cares: “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care!” John Maxwell

Care enough to LISTEN to them

Care enough to FORGIVE them

Care enough to LISTEN to them Care enough to FORGIVE them Care enough to HURT with them
