The title says it all. I am really sad that the Pastor Administrator of our church took an early retirement on January 1st. I know that I have not been a good church member. Before, I never appreciated any of his sermons because I find it confusing. But, I never wished for him to leave. I was shocked at the announcement last Sunday about his retirement. I didn't expect it at all. Since I've started creating sermon notes a few years back, I realized that his sermons are really beneficial and that it really has substance. I started looking forward on his sermons until I noticed that I don't find it boring anymore. My ears perk up when it's time for the message and my eyes brighten because of anticipation. I know that there are certain circumstances that made him come to that decision. And, I hope that he will succeed in his endeavors. We are now looking for someone to replace him. Of course, only God knows who it will be. I believe that everything has a purpose why all of this occurred.
I am hoping that our new Pastor Administrator would really change our church. I hope that he will be able to boost our morale and to rebuke us when we need it. I know that our church needs a Pastor who would encourage us and correct us whenever we err. Being a senior pastor is no joke. It's a big task. However, the Lord is always there to help and guide whomever He chooses to have that position. Jesus is the Head of our church and by His strength, the new pastor can do the enormous tasks that the Lord has set before Him. And we, the church members, will always be ready to lend a helping hand to that chosen man of God.
Please pray for our church. God speed, my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus! All of you are in my prayers.
