In this sermon, Guest speaker, Pastor Bob Curley of the El Monte Reformed Baptist Church in El Monte, CA, speaks practically about 10 duties Church Members owe to their pastors.
Pastor Bob draws upon a work written in 1822 by John Angel James, but makes plenty of modern and up to date applications.
This is a profitable message for all church members. One of Satan's devices to weaken the church is to make sure Pastors do not receive the proper respect or prayer support they need to properly shepherd the people of God. There is a spiritual battle going on in this world -- and don't forget, your pastor is in the forefront of the warfare!

Note Worthy Sermon! I think pastors are hesitent to preach sermons like this one because they can be taken the wrong way. No one wants to get up and say this is the way I need to be treated. But, this is the way God says we are to treat our pastors and many of us will do well to learn what God desires of us. I don't always do what God would have me to do but I can't even make the effort if I don't know what it is. I love the sincerity of heart and life experiences Pastor Curley brings to this sermon. It really is important to the health of the church for Pastors to receive the proper respect, encouragement, prayer and help they deserve.

Amen to that Great Sermon! What a needful sermon this is. Pastors can never have too much love and encouragement. Pastor Curley has hit the nail on the head with this one. Thank you Pastor for exhorting us. 1 Tim. 5:17 "Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine." I sure am grateful for my Pastor and I'm encouraged to let him know it as much as possible, he is indeed worthy of double honor as well as our other Pastor and Deacons.
