The Pastor (Session I)

Speakers: Mark Dever Year: 2006 Session: Main Session

The true calling of a minister can be shown by three marks. The minister ought to me to be cross-centered in his message and life. This in turn should lead followers of Christ who are cross- centered. Humility drives the cross-centered lifestyle and it cultivates the rest of the virtues given to the Christian.
