Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. What do you think about your pastor? Do you chew over his sermons and wonder if they are clear and helpful? Do you feel he spends enough time with you? In fact, do you ever catch yourself wondering what he does all day? The truth is, often we think, What can my pastor do for me? Far less often do we think, What can I do for my pastor? Seasoned former pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do €“ how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on €“ but about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us. Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family. |

| how to pray for your pastor: Gospel J.D. Greear, 2011-10-01 Could the gospel be lost in evangelical churches? In this book, J.D. Greear shows how moralism and legalism have often eclipsed the gospel, even in conservative churches. Gospel cuts through the superficiality of religion and reacquaints you with the revolutionary truth of God's gracious acceptance of us in Christ. The gospel is the power of God, and the only true source of joy, freedom, radical generosity, and audacious faith. The gospel produces in us what religion never could: a heart that desires God. The book’s core is a “gospel prayer” by which you can saturate yourself in the gospel daily. Dwelling on the gospel will release in you new depths of passion for God and take you to new heights of obedience to Him. Gospel gives you an applicable, exciting vision of how God will use you to bring His healing to the world. |

| how to pray for your pastor: What Is a Healthy Church? Mark Dever, 2024-09-26 Key Traits of a Healthy Church to Develop within the Local Body What is an ideal church, and how can you tell? How does it look different from other churches? More importantly, how does it act differently, especially in society? Many of us aren't sure how to answer those questions, even though we probably have some preconceived ideas. This book answers those questions and many more. Author Mark Dever seeks to help believers recognize the key characteristics of a healthy church: expositional preaching, biblical theology, and a right understanding of the gospel. Dever then calls us to develop those characteristics in our own churches. By following the example of New Testament authors and addressing all members of the church, pastors and laity alike, Dever challenges all believers to do their part in maintaining the local church. Part of the 9Marks Building Healthy Churches series, What Is a Healthy Church? offers timeless truths and practical principles to help each of us fulfill our God-given roles in the body of Christ.

| how to pray for your pastor: Pray for the Flock Brian Croft, Ryan Fullerton, 2015-08-04 “Brothers, pray for us.” (1 Thessalonians 5:25). The Apostle Paul’s letters are filled with references to prayer—requests for prayer from the churches, prayers for them, and teaching and encouragement that God was working through these prayers. Pastors and church leaders know that prayer is powerful and it must be a priority in any ministry, yet many pastors struggle to maintain an active prayer life. Even more difficult is the challenge of praying for the flock, lifting up the needs of the people God has placed in your care. The Practical Shepherding series of guides provides pastors and ministry leaders with practical help to do the work of pastoral ministry in a local church. In Pray for the Flock, pastors Brian Croft and Ryan Fullerton provide biblical encouragement, practical advice, and helpful suggestions that will help busy pastors effectively pray for their people and care for their church through the ministry of intercession. |

| how to pray for your pastor: The Church During the Search Jason Lowe, 2021-01-01 This book is a unique resource that speaks to the average person in the pew rather than to the Pastor Search Committee. What a needed resource! Having observed Lowe in his varied ministry roles for several years now, I can assure you that he writes as one who is investing his life in seeing the church healthy and flourishing. This resource is an invaluable and lasting contribution to that end. Paul Chitwood, President, International Mission Board Occasionally a resource comes about that has the ability to help our churches in a transformational way. Usually these resources break ground in areas that have not been considered before. This is one of those resources. Structuring a book about the Pastor Search Process from the perspective and concerns of the congregant is genius! Rick Curtis, Convention and Associational Relations, North American Mission Board This book and study by Jason Lowe will be a consolation and source of encouragement to many churches. I believe God will use it to bring churches comfort, hope, and continuity of ministry during the difficult time of being without a pastor. I highly recommend it! Ray Gentry, President and CEO, Southern Baptist Conference of Associational Leaders In this work, Jason Lowe helps church members consider their own role in the search process, and he challenges them to continue being the church in the interim period. The Bible is his guide, and healthy church transitions are his goal. You will find this work helpful, encouraging, and relevant. Chuck Lawless, Dean of Doctoral Studies and Vice-President of Spiritual Formation and Ministry, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary About the Book Church members are often left largely in the dark while the Pastor Search Committee goes about their task. Far too often, this leads to unnecessary frustration, suspicion, and conflict. The Church During the Search sheds light on the Pastor Search Process for the people in the pews so they can pursue Christ-honoring attitudes and behaviors throughout the search process. |

| how to pray for your pastor: A Way with Words Daniel Darling, 2020-08-18 Social media was made to bring us together. But few things have driven us further apart. Sadly, many Christians are fueling online incivility. Others, exhausted by perpetual outrage and shame-filled from constant comparison, are leaving social media altogether. So, how should Christians behave in this digital age? Is there a better way? Daniel Darling believes we need an approach that applies biblical wisdom to our engagement with social media, an approach that neither retreats from modern technology nor ignores the harmful ways in which Christians often engage publicly. In short, he believes that we can and should use our online conversations for good. |

| how to pray for your pastor: Gospelbound Collin Hansen, Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra, 2021-04-06 A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news. |

| how to pray for your pastor: Worthy Elyse Fitzpatrick, Eric Schumacher, 2020-02-04 What does the Bible say about the value of women? Does the Bible teach that women are as valuable as men or does it portray them as somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived? Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the storyline of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish His kingdom goals. Because, like men, they are created in His image, their lives reflect and declare His worth. Worthy will enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and lofty vision of God's creation, plan, and their value in His eyes. Bestselling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn't only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God's perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of their congregations; men who might be wondering if they've missed something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church. Might the headlines they're reading today about abuse have their roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women? Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women will help every reader see the value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a Digging Deeper section that will help men and women discover how to cherish, value, and honor one another for God's glory. |

| how to pray for your pastor: Steps to Personal Revival Helmut HAUBEIL, 2020-03-17 On August 14, 2011, when I was in Kandergrund in the Bernese Highlands in Switzerland an important connection became very clear to me. I recognized a spiritual cause for why we are losing part of our youth. I was very shocked. I thought of my children and grandchildren. Since then I have been intensively occupied with this subject.Now I believe that the same spiritual cause is behind many of our problems; specifically the personal problems, in the local churches and the world-wide church. It is the lack of the Holy Spirit. If this is the cause, then we should urgently address this issue. If the cause can be eliminated or considerably reduced, then many problems will become superfluous or will be resolved. |

In fact, look at Matt Schmucker's even before you think about leaving. Have you looked yet? Okay, what about now?

| how to pray for your pastor: The Pastor's Soul Brian Croft, Jim Savastio, 2018-07-16 David Murray writes in the Foreword: 'The minister's soul is the soul of his ministry.' I can't remember where I first heard this saying, but I've never been able to forget it. And, having read this book, I never want to forget it. In these pages, Jim Savastio and Brian Croft establish the foundation of all faithful and fruitful ministry€the pastor's soul. But, although their main target is the epidemic of ministerial hyper-activity and the accompanying burnout, backsliding, and brokenness, they carefully avoid over-reacting and running to the opposite extremes of monkish withdrawal or lazy self-indulgence. Instead, you have a book that skillfully walks a balanced biblical path in both content and style. It balances self and others. Yes, the pastor is all about serving others, about sacrificing for the sake of others, about spending and being spent for others, and about pouring out themselves to fill others. But, as many pastors have discovered to their cost and pain, servants are finite, sacrifices eventually turn to ashes, non-stop spending leads to bankruptcy, and pouring out without ever filling up ends in drought. This book reminds us that caring for self is not selfish but necessary if we are to sustain a life of caring service to others. It's not a warrant for sloth or selfishness, but rather a call to self-care that will lead to better other-care. |

| how to pray for your pastor: Praying For Pastor and Our Church Glenn Mitchell, 2023-07-11 And I will give you Pastors according to mine own heart who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. --Jeremiah 3:15 The most valuable asset to any church is its pastor. God has set each pastor in the church as it has pleased Him according to Ephesians 4:11. God uses these men and women of God to teach the saints of God about Himself, His ways, and how to live the life He has purposed for them. It is the pastor whom God has gifted and graced that touches, impacts, and influences the life of the believer on a continual and consistent basis over a spiritual lifetime. It is the pastor whom God uses to lead the church into fulfilling the plan and mission of God for that local body church that division the army of God. Yet many believers rarely, if ever, pray for their pastor. If you love and thank God for your pastor, if you believe in the vision, mission, and work of your church, if you desire that God use your pastor and his ministry more greatly, then Praying for the Pastor and Our Church is a book just for you. Filled with scripture-saturated prayers, this book is purposed to stir believers to pray effectively for their pastor, church, and the mission God has given them corporately to do. We believe that you, your pastor, and your church will be tremendously blessed through this book. |
