A brief bit of encouragement for the journey from God's Word. Today's Scripture reading: Hosea 5 To support this devotional ministry: https://faithbaptiststerling.com/give/ Music: "Awaken the Dawn" by Stanton Lanier https://www.stantonlanier.com CCLI #20109360

This sermon emphasizes the biblical command to honor and love church leaders, grounding the discussion in 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13. It defines the pastoral role as a holy calling rather than a mere profession, illustrating this through the personal testimony of surrendering to God's directive to preach. The message highlights the pastor's faithfulness to God, family, and ministry, noting the spiritual burdens and constant opposition they face. By contrasting the pastor's dedication with the congregation's need for consistency, the sermon urges believers to support their leaders with respect and active participation in the church. Ultimately, it calls the audience to recognize the pastor as a fellow saved sinner who is worthy of double honor for their labor in the word.
