Description

What does it mean to be a faithful minister of the gospel? In his 1809 sermon The Duties of a Gospel Minister, John Holt Rice outlined the sacred charge of those called to shepherd Christ’s church — to preach the whole counsel of God, guard the flock, teach by example, train the young, and labor with an eye to eternity. In this episode, we explore Rice’s enduring vision for pastoral ministry and why his words still speak powerfully to the church today.
