Happy Friday evening! I hope each of you are doing well and plan on enjoying a relaxing weekend. 

We are expecting the Holy Spirit to do many special things in our midst this Sunday! 

Sunday is our 15th Pastoral Anniversary! God's strength and goodness are apparent all around us. Terry and I are honored to be called by God to pastor and shepherd the congregation at FaithPointe. His anointing, wisdom and endurance have been with us for the past 37 years of ministry. Through it all...God is GOOD. 

And, we are thankful that YOU choose FaithPointe as your home and allow us to be your pastors!

I hope you can make it to celebrate this special day with us!

 FP DEVOTIONAL: "From the Importance of a Pastor" 

​

Pastors are following an incredible calling to care for the souls of people (Hebrews 13:17). There's a weightiness to that calling that's hard to describe - and most pastors I know fulfill that calling with faithfulness and joy. 

As a pastor, the work is never fully done. Even when they go home at night, they are still on call at some level. Crises seldom happen according to our schedules.

Pastors shoulder burdens few people know. In fact, they sometimes must carry them alone, and they often weep more over the sin of the congregation members than those members do over their own sin.

Pastors work hard at balancing their personal and family time with congregational time. Not all pastors find this balance well - and their family often pays a price - but most pastors strive to do the task with diligence. 

Pastors bear the responsibility of preaching the Word. That work requires seeking God's face, exegeting and interpreting the Word, crafting a sermon, and delivering it. No pastor wants to misinterpret  the Word; thus, their burden is great. 

Pastors must deal with critique and criticism. Sometimes it's warranted, but often it's not. Yet, most pastors hear them with grace.

Pastors share all of life with their parishioners. Not even a family physician shares all of life - birth, conversion, baptism, graduation, marriage, parenthood, death, and every major struggle and celebration between birth and death. Only pastors have that privilege, and how greatly appreciative of this investment in our lives we should be!

Pastors are necessary to help with life's challenges making a pastor's guidance essential for navigating these difficulties. 

Pastors are instrumental in cultivating spiritual maturity in believers, helping them to grow closer to God and live obedient lives.

Pastors foster a sense of community with the church and help individuals to find their passion and purpose in faith.

Pastors also ensure the church maintains a clear understanding of foundational Christian truths, preventing straying from biblical principles.
