Preached Word.

Practice and Perservere

This sermon outlines three key expectations for a pastor: to set a godly example, to pay close attention to the public reading, exhortation, and teaching of God's Word, and to exhort the church family with purity and love. The preacher emphasizes that faithful adherence to these responsibilities not only fosters personal growth and maturity but also serves as a means through which God saves both the pastor and the hearers. Ultimately, the sermon calls the congregation to also embody godliness and love, treating each other as family, because biblical truth is meant to strengthen familial bonds within the church.
