HAPPY & BLESSED FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH! 🤍
A new month begins with another opportunity to gather, worship, and grow in the presence of God. Today, we are reminded that loving God also means loving and honoring the people He has called to serve His Church.
LOVING GOD, LOVING PEOPLE
Honoring and Supporting God’s Servants
Ptra. Grace Tan Marasigan
Honoring God’s servants means recognizing those whom God has called and appointed to lead, shepherd, and care for His people. It is about respecting their God-given calling and supporting the responsibility entrusted to them.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HONOR AND SUPPORT GOD’S SERVANTS?
I. Because Their Calling Comes From God
📖 Genesis 12:1–4
God is the One who calls and sends His servants. Their calling is not simply a position, but a responsibility entrusted to them according to His purpose.
II. Because Pastors Are Gifts to the Church and Are Appointed to Shepherd His People
📖 Ephesians 4:11–13
God gives pastors and leaders to His Church to shepherd, teach, equip, encourage, and guide His people in their faith.
III. Because Pastors Are Chosen According to the Heart of God
📖 Jeremiah 3:15
God appoints shepherds to care for His people and lead them according to His wisdom and purpose.
HOW DO WE HONOR AND SUPPORT GOD’S SERVANTS?
• By Supporting and Respecting Them
We honor God’s servants by appreciating their dedication, supporting their ministry, and respecting the responsibility God has entrusted to them.
• By Obeying Them
📖 Hebrews 13:17
• By Recognizing and Appreciating Their Service
God does not place pastors in the Church by accident. He calls them, appoints them, and entrusts them with the sacred responsibility of shepherding His people.
Let us honor their calling, pray for them, encourage them, and faithfully support the work God has entrusted to them. As a Church, may we protect our unity and continue to take part in the mission God has given us.
Dahil ang isang iglesiang marunong kumilala sa tawag ng Diyos, gumagalang sa Kanyang mga lingkod, at sumusuporta sa Kanyang gawain ay handang makiisa sa layunin ng Diyos.
KNOW HIS VOICE.
TRUST HIS LEADING.
FOLLOW HIS WORD.
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
— John 10:27
The closer we walk with God, the more familiar His voice becomes.
To God be all the glory! 🙌🏻
