Those Who Watch For Your Soul

THOSE WHO WACTH FOR YOUR SOULS Hebrews 13:7, 24, 17 Intro: Preachers are not made their called

There are none that are perfect; not people, preachers, pew sitters

God wants for people to have a shepherd that’s under Christ.

Weather you want to heed to that, to be under a Shepherd is up to you.

He has always used a man to proclaim His Word and He always will.

It’s great when they want to hear, listen & obey (it’s very sweet)

God can speak through songs and through prayer, but God has intended for you to sit under a man who He has called to lead you and watch for your souls.

The Pastor will stand accountable--- was he obedient

You will stand accountable----were you obedient to hear it and to heed and to back him and to encourage him and to be in the right Spirit where you could hear The Word of God.

I thank God for the Pastors who watch for my soul, my spiritual well-being.

Who spoke to me the Word of God. ALL OF US NEED THIS
