Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.

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.) I do believe that it is okay for the majority of a church’s budget being for paying the pastor, and I have for over two and a half decades.
Let us lift up Jimmy’s church and all churches facing this decision.

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.

VerseD: Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
Proverbs 31:30, HCSB
God is faithful. Anyone who trusts in Christ will be praised by God at the end. This is true for the Church and for every child, man, and woman within Her.
This Sunday at Church: Thank the Lord if your church has a back-up Worship Leader
We have a few people who can cover the music in an emergency, and we have easy access to a couple other people who can usually step in. It is nice, especially with our music pastor out of town the next two Sundays. It usually makes for a nice change of pace. One time, all our usual people were traveling together! The man who filled in played songs we normally avoid, and it could be felt. I am also thankful for a gracious congregation who was kind, but that person was removed from any list of possible cover. Let us always be grateful for others who can help lead our worship services.
Daniel
For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Thank the Lord if your church has a back-up Worship leader.

VerseD: Matthew 6:3
But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
Matthew 6:3, HCSB
God became a man to make the spiritually poor His friends, so we also should treat all sorts of poor as friends with the love of Christ and not for personal glory.
VerseD: 2 Peter 3:9
The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9, HCSB
We go through this world awaiting the return of Christ, knowing Christ has called us friends and is waiting for more to hear His call. Let us spread the good news of Jesus’ call and forgiveness.

VerseD: Proverbs 18:24
A man with many friends may be harmed, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24, HCSB
We should all have a few close friends who are like family, and it is best to have them walk with our Brother, Savior, and Lord Jesus.
This Sunday: Talk to any returning visitors
This was something discussed in our recent Congregational Meeting, how we can encourage members to be more attentive and thus welcoming to newer people and visitors. I know I often get stuck in conversations and cannot always meet new people right away, so it is helpful to have many people be ready to be welcoming to all including those who come back again!

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
