Since last Sunday…
One pastor believes he serves the finest of congregations.
Another questions whether he’s making any difference with the people he serves.
A third perseveres through varied seasons of ministry, loving those he serves but unsure of what the future holds.
One staff member feels loved and appreciated.
Another is frustrated by how some behave toward him.
Others questions whether they are up to the task.
One leader feels overwhelmed by their load.
Another grieves the loss of an ally.
Each of these shares a holy calling to serve the Lord’s church. Each is empowered by the Holy Spirit for the task at hand. Each fills an important role not only in their church, but in our fellowship of churches.
Whichever circumstance you find yourself in, be thankful for the privilege you hold. The apostle Paul wrote, “I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service…”
Happy Thanksgiving!
Bro. Jim
