This Sunday at Church: Pray for your pastor’s study time for Sunday Sermon

I know my most recent pastor meets with many people and has to prepare the sermon most weeks. Having just started covering for my friend who had heart surgery while I also finish my M.Div. this next month, I totally understand this stretching.

Pray for all pastors to have the time, patience, and endurance in Christ to continue, and pray a reliance on the Holy Spirit to guide the messages.

Sermon: Galatians 2:11-21 – Built Up or Tearing Down

I preached again!

Once again I was in Paulden Christian Fellowship. Pastor Paul started the Letter to the Galatians, so as I cover the preaching and teaching while he recovers from surgery I picked up with the second half of chapter 2.

Unlike usual, I do not have a copy of notes below, but I have provided the PowerPoint.

This Sunday: Pray for any church trying to budget to have a full time pastor

I know of several chur he’s going through this process. I am talking with one about coming on part-time as their pastor (on my way to preach there as of this posting.)

Let us lift up Jimmy’s church and all churches facing this decision.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for any church trying to budget to have a full time pastor.
