Please be praying today for our adult education pastor, Matt Haste. Jason is out this Sunday and Matt will be filling in. Unless you are a preaching pastor, it is hard to understand the efforts that go into a message. There are 3 things a pastor has to focus on to preach. One, the pastor is responsible to God to bring His message – enough said there. Two, the pastor has to read and research the word as he seeks God’s direction. Finally, the pastor has to fight the flesh in wanting to impress and entertain people.
Pray specifically for Matt to have peace about the Lord’s message. Pray for protection from Satan’s distractions that will be sent Matt’s way. Pray for health and energy as he prepares to preach tomorrow. And, pray for the attenders’ hearts to be open to God’s word.
we always hear how the heart has such a huge role in our spititual life…Matt…you have it all covered!
Thanks to Matt for his message from God’s Word – Matt did a great job – I have really enjoyed these messages from the Old Testament – Thank you so much for serving and reminding us of God’s wonderful promises. Pam
