Posted: November 27, 2021
Every pastor needs the good heavenly Father while he is preaching, making disciples, and feeding the sheep, and every pastor has One.
In this video you will learn about our mission and vision here at Paradigm One. Christ in You, The Hope of Glory.
Every pastor needs the good heavenly Father while he is preaching, making disciples, and feeding the sheep, and every pastor has One.
You don’t have to bear the responsibility of life, ministry, and church on your own. The Father has given the promise, the Holy Spirit, for this reason.
Prophets are vital to God’s work as the Vinedresser with Jesus as the greatest Prophet. Prophets today reiterate the truth that has been revealed in God’s Word.
God prunes His vineyard so that it may produce fruit. Pruning is challenging, but the fruit bearing it brings helps us reflect more of the Christ life in us.
God knows that we need to be encouraged. He often uses ordinary circumstances (rest, food), but He also uses faithful people to show that God will lift you up.
It is normal to need comfort from God, and thankfully, He provided His word to give encouragement when needed. Comfort given can then become comfort shared.
Experiencing God’s revelation of Himself makes the objective truth of His Word become subjective reality in the life of a pastor and in the life of his church.
Confronting sin in the church can be uncomfortable for pastors. God reveals sins, and Jesus gives pastors a way to handle the confrontation with the sinner.
The Father asks some tough questions in Isaiah 5. God has a tradition of asking questions in this manner, and taking time to be still and answer these questions can mean life and death for our churches and ministries.
God’s guidance in the account of Moses and the building of the tabernacle gives us a model for us to follow today with Jesus.
