2. What are different responsibilities a congregation bears toward its pastors? What responsibility do you think is the most dangerous if neglected?
   

3. Some people question whether a pastor should be paid. How would you argue that it is appropriate for a congregation to support its pastor?
   

4. What are ways you can improve in growing in Christ and in helping others to grow in Christ in your local church?
