Mark Rathel's commentary on the lesson, "Three Ideas for Encouraging Church Leaders," based on 1 Corinthians 4:1-21, describes Paul as the founding pastor of the Corinthian Church. Although it is not part of the lesson, I think from a Bible study perspective, it is an excellent time to remind class members that Paul was not a pastor. To be clear, he was an apostle and an evangelist, but he was never described as an elder (as Peter was). Whenever he established a church, Paul appointed elders to be leaders of the local church. These men were the "pastors" of the local church.
Gary Payne posted a good set of PowerPoint slides for the lesson, which I recommend.

Hi Don. As far as I know, Gary does slides each week. He sends me a link and I post it. I don't have a set day but generally before Friday. Thanks!
