The relationship between pastors and their congregation is mutual; while pastors are responsible for feeding their flock, the congregation must actively seek spiritual nourishment. Immature faith often rejects essential practices like prayer and preaching. Attending church is not merely an obligation, but an opportunity for growth and fulfillment in faith.

After his resurrection, Jesus "beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself" (Luke 24:27). In other words, Jesus used the Old Testament to explain who he is to his disciples.
