Hope Small Group Discussion Questions 
  1. Jordan spoke about the perception Pastors and Elders face today in a secular society. How do you think the role of a Pastor functions in today’s secular society? How do you think culture views church elders and pastors? Has this changed for the way people used to view pastors? What factors do you think adds to this? 
  2. Define these words Elder (Gk. presbyteros), Shepard (Gk. Poimenos), Overseer (Gk. episkopos). How do they describe the total job of church eldership.
