The Church and its Pastoral Care (14 of 16)
Series: The Fixer
Donald Cantrell
1 Timothy 5: 17 - 25
I - Ruling and Rewarding (17 - 18)
II - Revering and Rebuking (19 - 21)
III - Restraint and Remedies (22 - 25)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points. In this sermon we discuss the idea of elders, their payment, their positions, and their prominence. The church has a responsibility to care for the man of God, the man of God on the other hand, has a personal responsibility of living upright and justly before that church.
Theme: ''The church has a responsibility in caring for the man of God''
Granny Parker and Her PHD
In one of the churches I served after seminary, Granny Parker summed up what I sense is God's way of helping us along in the church. Granny is home with Jesus now. In this world she wasn't very impressive; she only completed about 5th grade in school. But she had a heart for God and a PhD when it came to prayer (p.h.d. praying higher and deeper). Her social skills were few - but she could get to the heart of the matter.
After I'd been at the church for five years, our Deacons threw a little celebration party to mark the occasion. Granny was asked to say a few words. She rose to her full 4'11'' height, stood ramrod-straight and told about ''My Pastor''; she said, Well, I remember the first time my Pastor, Bro. Russell, preached here.
I thought to myself, O Lor', am I a-gonna have t' listen t' that the rest o' mah days? Then, you know what - he started a-growin' on me; an' I found I could understand him. He ain't such a bad preacher after all. He got better.
Granny was right; I did get better. The reason I got better was Granny was praying for me, and I was working hard at getting better. That's the way it is in the church, and especially with spiritual gifts - it's a group project!
