Summary

In this Weekend Pulpit Scott Pauley gives a prayer list drawn from the apostle Paul’s own requests for intercession. Every faithful shepherd is bearing heavy burdens and each local church must be faithful to pray for their pastor. This message was preached while Scott Pauley served on staff at the Temple Baptist Church in Powell, TN. Scott walks through multiple Scripture references—Romans 15:30, Ephesians 6:18–19, Philippians 1:19–20, Colossians 4:2–3, 2 Thessalonians 3:1, 1 Timothy 2:1–2, and Hebrews 13—showing seven specific ways to pray for a pastor.
