Faithful & Fruitful

**Warning** This message maybe convicting to Pastors. Too many preachers say “just stay faithful preaching”, that is only half true. Could you imagine if teachers in the public schools had only one requirement and that was to lecture on topics? Teachers are required to teach the students and develop ways to measure what the students have learned. Concrete Applications! Maybe preachers should be more like teachers? We are commanded to be fruitful also. If a preacher preaches for years and the Christians receiving these teachings are not practicing what they are learning then the preacher is failing at his calling. Christ calls us to MAKE disciples. Ephesians 4:12 says to PREPARE God’s people for WORKS of SERVICE. Just staying faithful in preaching is a copout. All Christians are to be Faithful at being Fruitful.
