Things I Like About Being a Pastor

1. Seeing lives transformed. This is why I "signed up" for this job. The Holy Spirit still does miracles today when grace is experienced. This is the greatest joy in ministry.
2. Preaching. This can help to bring about transformed lives. God's Word promises it will not come back void. It is alive and powerful.
3. Worship.  It's awesome to lead a group of people in singing praises to our Creator.
4. Personal evangelism. To be able to walk alongside someone who has never experienced the Good News is exciting.
5. The people/members. It's a joy to enter into Kingdom work with fellow-laborers who are truly "on fire" for the Lord.
6. Ministering in the community. To me, church takes place Monday through Saturday. It's more important what we do outside of the church building.
7. Ministering to members. It's an honor to walk beside someone who is going through a difficult time. We've all been there.
8. Casting a vision. This one can be a little scary, but when a group of committed Jesus followers get it, look out world!!
9. Staff relationships. I am blessed and thankful to have Taric and Pam to work with, otherwise it would be very lonely.
