Bible Question: Our Pastor, who preaches the Love of Christ, is resigning and leaving the congregation because of one individual (a sideliner) who wants to control the church by using discipline and obedience to God. This Sunday, as a deacon, I have to lead the congregation in song and worship (no sermon). What can be said to the congregation? Where in the Bible are the lessons that can be taught during this sorrowful time in our little Baptist Church? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Crossroads1! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! You know there are so many subjects that could be preached on but the fist thing that came to my mind was the sovereignty of God. Don't think you could cover it all in one sermon but you could get the point across! Maybe you could spend some time pointing out to the church who it is that calls us into service and who it is that gives the gifts to us and what the purpose of the gifts are. Perhaps your pastor and the "sideliner" both need to be reminded of this! You really leave a lot open for speculation with so little detail. I don't say that seeking more information only to say this situation to me doesn't sound like it can be resolved in a forum like this. Sounds like to me the church needs to ensure God is at the center of everything it is doing. If not look for more trouble down the road! Seek Him out brother, lift Him up before the congregation and stand firm against any evil that attempts to divide His people!!! There's another good subject, "Recognizing evil". How many Christians have trouble doing that? God bless, Steve |
