Sermons About Elders
The Eye of God - Ezra 5
Regime change in Iran? Sure; but during the time of Darius the Great. During this time, the prophets Haggai and Zechariah promote restoration of the temple by first restoring the people through preaching God's word! The result is an Aramaic document that declares to the world that it is God who is truly in control -- everything happens before His eyes -- do we live like this is true?

Priestly Duty of Prayer
This morning from our text and the previous texts I want you to see three specific requests that we should bring before the throne of grace on behalf of our leaders. 1. We should pray that our leaders will proclaim to us the full counsel of God. 2. We should pray that our leaders will live lives that are worthy of imitation. 3. We should pray that our leaders will keep close watch over our souls.

Pastoring When Suffering is Possible
With the prospect of suffering facing Christians, the role of the pastor takes on added significance. As the visible and vocal leader of the church, the pastor would no doubt increase his own chances of suffering. In addition to the prospect of personal suffering, the weight of leading a church of suffering people bears down on the pastor. As Peter begins his final section of the letter we call First Peter, he writes to his fellow pastors to encourage them to faithfully serve God by serving the church. He reminds them that the return of Christ will bring rewards to them for faithfully carrying out their duties. While most here this morning are not pastors, Peter’s teaching to pastors can help the church understand what to expect from your pastor, how to pray for your pastor, and how to help your pastor.
