Last Sabbath, Pastor Gordon Jones’ sermon was entitled “Confession of a Joyful Pastor.” Pastor read from Philippians 1:3-7. Pastor explained that his priestly duty includes PRAYING FOR OTHERS. Praying for and with others demonstrates LOVE! God has called Pastor to pray! If Pastor does not pray for others, he is denying himself demonstration of love AND he is sinning against God. His prayers for us are not based on merit, our desires, or appreciation for him. Pastor is called to pray when he is ridiculed, when we don’t ask/tell him to pray, when we are broken and can’t seem to reach out ourselves. Pastor is in constant intersession and prays for us and for himself. Thank you Pastor Jones for your prayers! WE LOVE YOU!
