Galatians 6:6 Sunday

Jeremiah 3:15 - pastors are a gift from God. God gives us pastors to help us to get knowledge and understanding.

- We need to have knowledge to be successful  in life.
e.g.1 Peter 3:7 - we need knowledge to be successful in marriage.

- John 13:20 - when we receive pastors, we receive Jesus, who sent the pastor, and God the Father, who sent Jesus into this world.

- God may send us a pastor in answer to our prayers about specific problems we have.
Exodus 3:6-10 says that God sent Moses to rescue the Israelites as a result of their cries to God.

- Acts 9:3-7 - God told Paul to go to a man of God in the city, who will tell him, Paul, what to do.

- In Acts 10:1-6 - God told Cornelius to send for Simon Peter, who will tell him, Cornelius what he should do.

- 2 Chronicles 20:20 - God wants us to believe in God's prophets so that we can prosper.
We need to allow ourselves to be pastored, by reaching out to our pastors, and stop trying to avoid them.

- God sent Nathan to tell King David that he had to repent of adultery and murder. We need to be like David and admit our mistakes, and value our pastors.
