Spiritually Abusive Pastors (1 Pet. 5:1-4)
Over the last decade we've seen a staggering number of famous pastors fall out of ministry or be fired from the ministry. In this sermon, we learn characteristics of a true pastor, and the care he will show his church.

I asked my mother who grew up on a farm in her childhood, " Mom, what are sheep like?" She said, "they are dumbest animals you've ever seen. If one falls in a deep puddle of mud, you'll see ten more in five minutes. Or if one gets caught on the fence, there'll be 15 more stuck and unble to move." "Son, that's why God calls us sheep." Never forgot that lesson, especially since I was stuck on a fence for decades before coming to the great Shepherd who set me free.

Likewise. I thank God for getting me out of that mess.
Your church is blessed to have you as their pastor!
The church has been infiltraited by imposters that are super salesmen but their aim is selling their own kingdom . It helps to be Full Gospel because you can use those spiritual gifts to spot
Wow. My shepherds never cared about losing this little lamb. His call for action made me cry.
My husband was one of those third world pastors. We’re in the states now, and he doesn’t “qualify” the way an American man would for pastoring. But he is a true shepherd. I felt like he was seen in this sermon and we’re from Ohio. Thank you for this beautiful, true-hearted teaching. So so good.
Was Spiritual abuse as baby Christian and it sent me tailspin of sin and backsliding. It took decades to heal.
You are a good and true pastor! Thank you.
Praise God, the Holy Spirit leads God's children in the truth. An abusive pastor will be exposed by the Holy Spirit's leading.
This is the best sermon I have heard on spiritual abuse. Very scriptural.
You are talking About my church.thanks fore opening my eyes...
Totally agree with this pastor. Church is for believers. How refreshing it is to hear his sermon. Unfortunately too many church’s focus on entertainment instead of teaching & feeding the sheep. All blessings to you Sir
Passing this along to my pastor in Wisconsin - a true shepherd like you. I’m grateful to God for sending me your channel!
This is absolute fire, so far
This is the message we need in the churches

Amen!
Brilliant
Thank you so much for this message pastor! Growing up, I was told that everybody had to obey the pastor's views which became doctrine , because it's the pastor's church. For example, there were rules about how the sisters had to comb their hair, no twisting of the hair, no relaxing, no hair extensions. You obey because it's their church, and the leaders are led by God. So no questions asked, just obey.
He totally exposes or bringing to account spiritual abuses we were once subjected to , or even involved in but never thought anything about it… till now,,, thank you for posting this.
wouldn’t dare to move to california, but if i did, i would become a member at MBC in a heart beat. love listening to Pastor Tony’s sermons. he exhibits meekness and love towards all who listens. praise the Lord for faithful men all over the world!
This preaching is strict and clear and to the point
Needed this!!!
Yes
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the truth of God's word. For the love of the sheep of Christ.
I always thought we were helpless sheep without our pastor. Now , i know that im a filthy sheep who could die without my pastor.
Thank you for this message on KZread. I can’t imagine attending a church like this, I have been attending Mega Churches. They do teach the Bible but there is nothing personal. They are taught that women are temptation so you don’t go and ask the Pastor for prayer, your motive could only be impure. I looked up a church on your find a church web page and plan to attend. Thank you.
Wow, how blessed I am to have you as my brother ❤, God bless you, thank you.
This is so good the truth always the best love it
Fantastic sermon.
Powerful message. Much needed. Thank you so much, Pastor Wood. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Awesome biblical teachings. Love to learn! What a blessing to listen your online teachings from the Netherlands
Thank you, this message was comforting, edifying and confirming. i just discovered your channel and will search the catalog for more videos regarding accountability within the congregation in regards to this subject as well. There's always more for this sheep to learn!
