Let me begin by encouraging you and encouraging you to be thankful for pastors and elders and worship leaders who

saturate you with the word of God.

All scripture is inspired by God

and is profitable for teaching, for rebuke and correction and training in

righteousness that the man of God may be complete and equipped for every good deed.

So if there's any good deed to be done in this church or in these cities it will come from the word of

God and through those who have faithfully ministered the word of God

faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Whatever was spoken of old was spoken for our encouragement by the steadfastness of scriptures we might have hope,

faith, hope.

These things I have spoken to you that my joy might be in you and your joy might be fully spoke that we might have joy

Faith hope joy all coming from

The word

The goal of my charge is love that comes from a pure heart and a clear

conscience and faith unfein. Faith, hope, joy, love, all of it through the word of God.

Blessed is the people who has a pastoral staff

and an eldership and a worship team that causes you to hear the word of God

over and over again.

So be thankful for your leadership.

So let me pray and ask God's help

in ministering the word of God.

Let's pray.
