Conclusion:

All in all, folks, you and I first of all need to understand what God expects of the man that you and I call ‘Pastor’. And secondly, you and I need to determine more than ever, that we will pray for that man to remain to be all God expects him to be as well as all that you and I need him to be, so that we, as a church body, might be continually motivated, and exhorted, and encouraged to be all WE can be for the Lord in this dark and sinful world!

Let’s determine to thank God for the pastor God has given unto us and let’s make sure we continue to treat our pastor right!
