If you became a pastor...

...what would you do to fulfill your obligation to teach the church? How would you go about it? Would you begin a series? Start teaching scripture at some book and continue through chapter by chapter? Buy one of the sermon books sold by PPH?

I like this approach. Yet I would probably also break that up with teaching on specific topics.

Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit? Do what my congregation seemed to prefer?

Honestly I don't think it matters which way you do it as long as you do it.

Personally my preference on the new testament would be to teach epistle by epistle or as much of an epistle as can be taught in a single sermon (some may need broken up). My old testament preference would be to to do the major stories in sequential order with context and timelines. The same would be nice to do for epistles.

I always dislike the topic focused preaching where they constantly jump from passage to passage. Always seems to easy to make the bible say whatever you want it to when you are doing that.

Teaching the church? I would start with the Epistles that were written to the church. Those books would cover doctrine and Christian living.

Re: If you became a pastor...

It would depend upon if I were building a new congregation or inheriting one. In the second case I would clean house first-a sermon on 'count the cost,' prolly followed by one on 'every inch of skin will be flayed from you;' then (if anyone was left ) I'd hit them with the Good News-you are freed from the Law of sin and death! Live a forgiven life!

In either case I would dump the Original Sin Koolaid.

For starters: Pray for guidance and anointing. Teach through the NT, chapter by chapter, alternating a gospel with a couple of epistles, Luke followed by the book of Acts, and pull from the OT where indicated by the NT's use of the OT.

Re: If you became a pastor...

Pray for God to direct you, then study the bible and see what comes alive in your study. It will make itself self-evident when you study in faith like that. You will know that you know what to do. There is no method.

Re: If you became a pastor...

I don't believe women are called to govern in leadership, so a woman pastor in the traditional understanding that we see the role of a pastor today is unbiblical, in my opinion.

However I do believe women are called to preach and share the gospel, and to teach, and to minister in gifts of the spirit. As a woman disciple of Christ, if I were to engage in preaching the gospel to a crowd of people, it would be under the authority of my husband, and my ministry would be focused to lead and encourage other women.

The reason I believe this is because of the relationship of Christ and the church. Christ being the head, and the church being the body. I believe Paul in 1 Cor. 11 is teaching that as Christ is the head of the church, so the man is the head of the woman. The church never dictates to Christ what to do, so the woman should never dictate to the man - her husband - what to do... however, there is a teamship, and a loving relationship that takes place when each fulfills their duties to each other that allows much to be accomplished. It is in this way I understand as a woman I can minister to the church, and I can teach and/or preach the gospel, but when it comes to leading, and government, that is the role of the man.

I suppose I could also say... let the fireworks begin... but after much prayer and study, I believe that a woman's role in the church is not in government/leadership positions, but to be a helpmate, and support to her husband, keeping in mind the Christ/church relationship.
