1. What way(s) are pastors gifts to us? In what specific ways has the Lord used a pastor(s) to help you? How do pastors also show us our need for a superior shepherd, namely, Jesus, our Good Shepherd?
2. In what ways do you think the ordination charges Craig gave to Aaron from 1 Timothy 4:12, also apply to you? In what way(s) do you need the grace of God’s people to fulfill these callings?
3. How is ordaining an elder most about the Lord and what He is doing in His world, even more than any individual elder? In what ways is this also about His people and their role in His world?

3. In what ways do you think our church can play a part in reaching the next generation? What direct role can our group play in this great gospel opportunity?
