It is a blessing to preach God's Word to hungry believers (1 Peter 2:2) Sunday after Sunday.
I love this photograph because many in the picture are studying their own copy of the Scriptures-like faithful Bereans!
"The pastor's goal is not to please the sheep, but to feed them- not to tickle their ears, but to nourish their souls. He is not to offer merely light snacks of spiritual meat, but the substantial meat of biblical truth. Those who fail to feed the flock are unfit to be shepherds (Jer. 23:1-4; Ezekiel 34:2-10)."
Like Paul in 2 Timothy 4, Charles Spurgeon warned that “A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats."'
Jesus commands pastors to "Feed My sheep!"
