Burk Parsons: Feeding the Flock (Pre-Conference)

Summary

The sermon's main theme is the role of pastor-teachers as shepherds tasked with making disciples by teaching God's people to observe and guard all that Christ commanded, drawing parallels with Jesus' charge to Peter. Key references include Jesus' command to Peter ("Feed My sheep") and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), emphasizing the importance of teaching believers not only what to affirm but also how to discern and deny false doctrine. The practical takeaway is that true discipleship requires training in discernment to guard against error, a crucial aspect often overlooked in contemporary church practice.
