    The role of a pastor/teacher is much more than that of a carer. Psalm 23 illustrates to us from the Good Shepherd what is involved in this ministry that is intended to lead others to maturity in Christ.

    3.7.11 PASTORS AND TEACHERS -- Psalm 23 INTRO Have you ever thought of entering the ministry? Maybe you have.
