It’s Not Up to You

Pastors should focus on Jesus, use ordinary grace, uplift others, and serve humbly, allowing God's Word and Spirit to build the church.

Prayer (Matthew 7:7-11)

Come to God because he cares for you. Remind yourself of who he is, tell him what’s on your mind, and use Jesus’ model prayer.

Meditation (Psalm 1)

Whatever shapes your thinking shapes your life, so make God’s Word your primary shaping influence by meditating on it.
