Silence the Shame

This week we came into the service to celebrate our Pastor on the 6th Annual Pastor Appreciation Day. This is a day that the members of Berith set aside to tangibly show our love for our awesome Pastor and Man of God that God himself has sent to us.

And like a hand goes with a glove, Pastor Rick's message was a great reminder to all of us about how God has given all believers an example to follow. The message instructed us to not be ashamed of honoring our Pastor. We went through numerous scriptures that illustrated the fact that when people took care of the prophets and God's anointed leaders, their lives were blessed. Not the lives of the prophets...the lives of the people who took care of the prophets.

At Berith we have seen a man who God has put in our lives to help us fully understand the Bible and how we should live our lives accordingly. He and his family have been an example for husbands, wives, and singles. And when the world takes time out to celebrate accomplishment in theater, film, and athletics, we should never be ashamed to celebrate the lives of God's leaders in our lives.

In Ephesians 4:8-11 the Bible says that Jesus gave "gifts to men" and some of them were apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Well can truly say that God has done just that for all of us here at Berith. We have a good gift in Pastor Rick.
