YOUR PASTOR NEEDS YOU

EXODUS 17:8-16

BIBLE READING: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:20-28

INTRODUCTION

You are not in Church to warm the chairs or just to be counted among numbers. God has brought you to Himself to be a useful part of His Body called the Church. You are saved to serve; you are in Church to support and serve God's vision given to your pastor and the Church. You are a V.V.I.P.

(1 Peter 2:9-11)

WHY DOES YOUR PASTOR NEED YOU?

He needs you to be saved, serve God's purpose now, and make Heaven at last. Ephesians 4:11-14He needs you to be involved in the Work of the Ministry and Jesus' Church through prayers, fellowships, Evangelism, and House fellowships. Acts 2:42-43, 5:42To support the work of the Ministry with your time, talent, and treasures. Acts 4:35-37To labour for the growth of the ministry in every dimension. Matthew 9:36-38, Acts 8:4-8To engage in spiritual warfare for your pastor, the members, and the Church. Exodus 17:8-13, 1 Timothy 6:12To live an exemplary Christian life before others.

1Timothy 4:12, Acts 11:22-26
