Pastor Josh delivered a heartfelt message on the vital importance of praying for pastors. Drawing from Paul’s letters in the New Testament, he outlined five key areas where pastors need the church’s ongoing prayer: for their protection, productivity in ministry, purity, partnership with the congregation, and general well-being. He reminded the congregation that pastors are not exempt from struggles or temptation and that their role carries significant spiritual weight and responsibility.
Throughout the message, Pastor Josh spoke candidly about the emotional and spiritual burdens pastors carry, emphasizing that effective pastoral ministry is only possible through full dependence on Jesus. He encouraged the church to move beyond critique and instead support their leaders with consistent, intentional prayer—partnering together for the sake of the gospel and the health of the church.
