The following scripture reference is very clear about the pastor's responsibilities. If the pastor follows these guidelines, it's our duty as christians to listen to them.
1 Peter 5:2-4 Amplified Bible (AMP)
2Tend (nurture, guard, guide, and fold) the flock of God that is [your responsibility], not by coercion or constraint, but willingly; not dishonorably motivated by the advantages and profits [belonging to the office], but eagerly and cheerfully;
3Not domineering [as arrogant, dictatorial, and overbearing persons] over those in your charge, but being examples (patterns and models of Christian living) to the flock (the congregation).
4And [then] when the Chief Shepherd is revealed, you will win the [a]conqueror's crown of glory.
