THE SONS OF ISSACHAR,

THE CHURCH AT SARDIS,

AND OUR LEADERSHIP TEAMS

By David Roadcup

The sons of Issachar are widely noted in church leadership circles for having the ability to read their circumstances and respond in wisdom: “Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command” (1 Chronicles 12:32). . . .

 
The church’s leadership team (paid staff and elder team) should play this role. Their agenda should always include studying and understanding critical scriptural guidelines, the times, the culture, trends, and the implications they bring. We minister in a vacuum when we do not understand what is taking place around us. . . .

CRUCIAL QUESTIONS

FOR CHURCH LEADERS

By Tyler McKenzie

I grew up a preacher’s kid in the rural outskirts of a small city. Every time we walked into a restaurant, my dad visited at least two tables to check-in on people we knew from church. Often, someone would pick up our check. The community honored him. Back then, people looked to clergy for care and accepted their moral exhortation. 

 

Gone are those days! . . . If you are a pastor these days, especially in more cosmopolitan areas, you feel this at a deep level. People expect you to preside over their weddings and funerals, but they take the hard stuff to their therapists. Add to that all the leadership scandals headlining the front page, and I can sympathize with the public’s suspicion. . . .
