“Prayer is indeed the Christian’s vital breath and native air.” - J. Oswald Sanders
Sheep like to wander. They will follow the scent of the grass and go just about anywhere to eat. They rarely know their own boundaries and will consume any vegetation in their path, including the vegetable garden designed for your family or the flower garden designed for its beauty. Sheep need a shepherd that will guide them, guard them, and lead them to the place they need to be.
The Good Shepherd came to point us in the right direction for salvation and security. God provides elders, pastors, and staff to shepherd us, guide us, protect us, and lead us to follow the Good Shepherd.
- Pray for our elders, pastors, and staff as they continue to lead us in this season.
We also want to spend this week specifically praying for our new lead pastor. God knows who he is and where he is at this very moment. He too is leading a church through the pandemic. He too has a staff that he is leading. He too is leading a church to reach their community. He too has a family that is invested in relationships. He too wants to be where God wants him to be.
- Join our new lead pastor in praying for peace, direction, and God’s timing.
Our pastor search team has wholeheartedly embraced the calling to seek after God’s heart for the shepherd God has in store for Berean.
- Pray for the Pastoral Search Team’s patience, clarity, and unity as they walk through this process together.
To God be the glory!
“Only fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you" (
1 Samuel 12:24 ESV).
