Lots of teaching about how people would go their own way and needed the pastors help. Little about how he should serve the church in love.

Now I will step out on a limb and say I think that is an organization wide problem with a few pastors having it right but most heavy-handed on the submission stuff.

If you think about it, it is taught backwards. Not really the way Jesus taught it . Jesus gave us a picture of the way he wanted it when he washed the disciples feet.He became the servant. I know for a fact, that is not taught for leaders across many denominations.I know we do foot washing and most do it out of tradition, but do we understand what He was trying to get across.
