Mark Dever preached a pastoral installation service Sunday for Del Ray Baptist Church. It is a great meditation on the calling of a pastor. In it, Dever addresses both the new pastor and the congregation.
To the new pastor, Dever gives 4 exhortations:
-Preaching (make this your primary task)
-Praying (pray all the time)
-Personal Discpling Relationships (do others good spiritually)
-Patience (lead in light of eternity)
To the congregation, Dever gives 3 exhortations around these things:
-Money (pay your pastor as much as you can)
-Marriage (care for the pastor's wife)
-Moderation (be moderate in your expectations of your new pastor)
