The weekend retreat was designed to bring couples together, and strengthen their bonds in preparation for the sacrament of marriage. Instead it uncovered many secrets and unleashed forbidden desires.
Wednesday is a day when I continue the work begun on Tuesday. Lots of commentary study fills my Wednesday. I will often schedule visits during the day with folks who have daytime availability. I have a retired man in the congregation who is known as our Pastor of Visitation and we usually meet for coffee and to compare notes on a Wednesday morning. Since that is true, it follows that being called and equipped to ministry does not hinge on marital status. In His fully human incarnation, Jesus submitted His divine self to be a servant (Philippians 2.6), and lived out that ministry as a single man with rich relationships. Peter was married. Paul was single. Priscilla and Aquila were marriage and ministry partners together. Whether single or married, each of these giants of the early Church chose to follow Jesus, and were used powerfully by God for the spreading of the Gospel. Single pastors and married ministers alike need to explore their fitness for ministry based on Scriptural principles, not lifestyle stages. The week before his wedding, Pastor Ben preaches a sermon on pre-marital sex with fiance Rey watching on. But unbeknownst to everyone in their congregation, temptation has almost tripped them up several times and they're not sure they can last the week.On weeks when I conclude my Bible Study prep with time to spare, I generally return to sermon study and reading. Friday: Closer observation revealed that the real meeting began after the adjournment of the official meeting. It was there the same people, with coffee in hand, would weigh the matters introduced in the formal meeting, and by consensus, either validate the decisions of the formal meeting, or overrule them. His congregation considered the official meeting a polite concession to their pastor.” Melton, J. Gordon (2005). Encyclopedia of Protestantism. Infobase Publishing. p.91. ISBN 9780816069835. Among other Protestants that claim apostolic succession is the Moravian Church.

A few days ago, I enjoyed lunch out with a friend after a Sunday worship service. My friend is a pastor. She is a woman. She is also single. Not surprisingly, as we talked about our lives and friendship, elements of these three life circumstances – single, woman, in ministry – appeared again and again. Since then, I’ve been thinking a lot about singles and ministry. Keep in mind, I don’t mean, “How do we build a meaningful ministry to singles?” Nope – completely different topic! That’s an issue for other blogs and books dedicated to programming, evangelism and “the emerging relevant church.” I’m talking about ministry-when-the-servant-is-single.In larger churches with many staff members, "Senior Pastor" commonly refers to the person who gives the sermons the majority of the time, with other persons having titles relating to their duties, for example "Worship Pastor" for the person leading singing. [17] Anglicanism [ edit ] I do not posit that unmarried clergy are better than married clergy, or that either state is more suited to the calling of ministry than the other. The Church needs to affirm the equal role unmarried servant leaders have alongside their married counterparts while also recognizing their unique strengths and weaknesses. No one is better suited to the call of ministry because of their relationship status. The basic truth is we who are called to ministry find our identity first and foremost in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:11 - Paul wrote "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;" I am a Pastor now… A Buddhist one | There's No Way But Up". www.davidlai.me .

Like the youth pastor, the children pastor is responsible for children in the church. He organizes children’s Sunday school and teaches the children.

Thursday is Bible Study day. My first priority is to spend the necessary time reading and studying in advance of the evening study. Over the years I have been a long student of scripture and so I am generally well equipped for handling questions that emerge, but I take the time to read a commentary or two on the chosen passage for the evening. I like to create my own question sheet to guide the conversation, but I encourage questions and ‘rabbit-trails’. This is a Priest!Ben, Priest!Hux story. As such, it will likely feature content to which some readers may object. If you are uncomfortable with such themes, please see the end notes for alternative stories by me.

Sometimes we wonder where to get that extra push and how to soldier on through our daily struggles. All these answers we seek only lead us to one thing: an unshakeable faith in God.
