2016 Shepherds' Conference: General Session 10 | John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon stresses the importance of pastors being well-versed biblical scholars and theologians, drawing from John chapter 17 and Hebrews. It highlights that Jesus' intercessory ministry in heaven, as shown in John 17, is an ongoing, significant work, even more so than the accomplishments of the cross and resurrection. The practical takeaway is that pastors must thoroughly know and effectively communicate God's word with authority, reflecting Christ's own theological understanding.
