Sunday Words of Encouragement October 17, 2010

This morning was Minister Appreciation day so we thanked all of pastoral leaders. We had a visit from a missionary who has been serving in a Communist country.  His message was rather pointed at the wealth we Americans take for granted. His sermon was to remind us that we are responsible for those outside our gates.  Gives you great pause when you think on it.

This seems like an appropriate song to go with the message today.

If We Are the Body by Casting Crowns

A Verse for Today:

Luke 16:25

But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

This morning we prayed for all ministers that they would be willing servants and that God might use them for His own glory.
