What is a good pastor? Is it his use of humor? Is it the way he programs Sunday services? As Paul closes his letter to Timothy and the church in Ephesus, he charges Timothy to pastor the church of Ephesus well. He details what it will take to him to be a good pastor. What we learn is not just what it takes to be a good pastor but what it takes for anyone in the church leading a ministry to do it well for God's honor and glory.

If you were looking for a good pastor, what would you look for? Is a good pastor just someone that makes you laugh with his jokes and amazes you with his care? In this passage, Paul shows Timothy what it looks like for him to serve as a good pastor in the church of Ephesus, in spite of his youth. In the process, we learn how to look for and find a good shepherd for our souls.
