The Shepherd’s Exhortation, Part 1 | The Chief Duties of a True Shepherd
What is exhortation in preaching?
It is the shepherd’s duty to exhort the flock of God from a foundation of biblical, doctrinal, theological truth, so that Christians will love, serve, and obey God with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind. What is the purpose of exhortation in preaching? Why does a Christian need not only instruction from a pastor, but also exhortation? Why is the local church so important to the teaching of God’s word? Ask yourself, do I attend a local church? Does the church I attend instruct and exhort the truth of God’s word? Do you feel a conviction to change yourself after the preaching you have listened to? Travis explains the necessity for regularly attending a local church that causes you to want to follow Jesus obediently.
